Back soon. With news of English Heritage's Festival of History, (there weren't nearly enough portable toilets), and whatever I come across in Cumberland and Westmorland.

About Me
- Peter Ashley
- I am a designer, writer and photographer who spends all his time looking at England, particularly buildings and the countryside. But I have a leaning towards the slightly odd and neglected, the unsung elements that make England such an interesting place to live in. I am the author and photographer of over 25 books, in particular Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2006), More from Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2007), Cross Country (Wiley 2011), The Cigarette Papers (Frances Lincoln 2012), Preposterous Erections (Frances Lincoln 2012) and English Allsorts (Adelphi 2015)
English Allsorts
"Open this book with reverence. It is a hymn to England". Clive Aslet
Preposterous Erections
"Enchanting...delightful". The Bookseller "Cheekily named" We Love This Book
The Cigarette Papers
"Unexpectedly pleasing and engrossing...beautifully illustrated". The Bookseller
Cross Country
"Until the happy advent of Peter Ashley's Cross Country it has, ironically, been foreigners who have been best at celebrating Englishness". Christina Hardyment / The Independent
More from Unmitigated England
"Give this book to someone you know- if not everyone you know." Simon Heffer, Country Life. "When it comes to spotting the small but telling details of Englishness, Peter Ashley has no equal." Michael Prodger, Sunday Telegraph
Unmitigated England
""....an absolutely stunning illustrated book..." A.N.Wilson / Daily Telegraph

Unmitigated Holidays are a great joy. I was just trying to work out your itinary. Holkham Beach, B i F, Kelmarsh, Cumberland and Westy - quite a trip. Where's your nearest preserved steam line at B i F ?
That's a fine photograph.
Enjoy your ramble in the North West.
Have an excellent trip. You're going to the right place for a truly unmitigated mixture of nature and industry.
