Description

John Blunden & Nigel Curry (a.); Lord Hunt of Llanfair Watrerdine (foreword). Since 1949 in Britain, the National Parks & Access to the Countryside Act has been the foundation on which statutory conservation & recreation powers have rested: calling into being national parks & areas of outstanding natural beauty, while making provision for public access. It was also the instrument by which national nature reserves & sites of special scientific interest were designated. But did the Act meet the expectations of those who had fought so long & hard for it? What have been its achievements in the years since? What legacy has it left to fashion the countryside of tomorrow in Britain? A panel of writers provides the answers.
