Lovely images, Misfit. There's a gorgeous magazine called "This England" which also has a continuous slideshow on its homepage- you might enjoy that as well.

My only question is - how come it never sems to rain in in this glorious pictorial England ?!

I've found just as many wonderful photographs on Flickr just by doing a simple search.

LOL how true

Most of England doesn't look like this, I hope y'all realise.

Here in the south-east we're up to our elbows in car parks, shopping malls and flyovers.

Nah, we've got plenty of urban sprawl, although we do still have some large chunks of real mountain wilderness left - old Mr. Sasquatch needs somewhere to live in

Rain? Who told you it rained here?

The site is very good though and I've used it quite often for research of one kind or another.

Have you seen this one:

Lots of interesting articles ( even a couple contributed by me).

I thought this little bit of info about Selby Abbey might be of interest. It's a lovely abbey.
