The chalk-capped Lincolnshire Wolds contain the highest land between Yorkshire and Kent, affording enormous views to Lincoln cathedral, to the sea and over the fens.

Most of the Wolds was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1973, and this is the first book of its kind  to focus on an AONB and its setting as a living and working landscape.  It contains a collection of 14 essays and nine vignettes about geology and scenery, landscape history and management, farming, bomber stations, biodiversity, tourism and the Wolds countryside in literature and art.  It is illustrated by nearly 100 photographs, paintings, maps and diagrams.

David Robinson OBE MSc is a geographer, retired University tutor, former editor of Lincolnshire Life and the Lincolnshire Poacher.  He has written 22 books on Lincolnshire landscapes, places and people and lives in Louth on the edge of the Wolds.
