The book inspires an appreciation of the plants, birds and other wildlife thriving close to home. It shares his optimistic outlook when spending a year walking around his local area. It is a reminder amidst the stories of environmental damage and decline, that in places, if you look closely, there is an abundance nature thriving on your doorstep!

Beautiful artwork illustrates each chapter opening, as well as the jacket by the talented Carry Akroyd. A must-read book for nature lovers, walkers, and wildlife enthusiasts.

A book that celebrates Shropshire from the air
Over a period of two years, Mark Sisson and the Reverend Henry Morris met up at short notice, weather permitting, to fly from Halfpenny Green airfield over different parts of Shropshire.
Angling the small Socata aircraft enabled Mark to photograph the county’s network of canals, rivers, ridges, hills and valleys, patchworks of crops, quarries, monuments, towns, hill forts, racecourses, parkland and settlements. 
A Most Rare Vision, a book that captures the beauty of Shropshire from the air.
