Book Synopsis

The watery landscapes of Britain and Ireland’s peatlands are a dominant feature in our countryside. From the blanket bogs of the uplands to the lowland remnants they are among our most important natural assets, but only now are we beginning to appreciate their true value and the vital role they have to play in tackling climate change.

In The Peatlands of Britain and Ireland, Clifton Bain has completed a journey around our most spectacular natural areas and unites his vast conservation experience with detailed accounts, maps, and strikingly beautiful imagery.

With a selection of the most famous peatland sites ranging across the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland, this book is not only a celebration of conservation effort but also a reliable guide to some of our most remote wilderness, as well as the surprisingly accessible peatlands on our doorsteps.
