Although this book was published in 2003, I am only just reading it and must say that it is beautifully produced and full of information. If you love the Weald and would like to know about its rich history and how it was once just a huge forest and how it has been farmed and now is a protected landscape - you should read this publication. Peter Brandon really knows his subject and you get a real sense of his love for the kent & Sussex Weald.
Having read the "Future of the South Downs", I now intend to read all his books on the Southern landscape of England
"Unless a man understands the Weald, he cannot write about the beginnings of England"
