A definitive natural history of Northumberland, from its ecological history, geology and climate to its naturalists and conservation issues. This edition is exclusive to newnaturalists.com

Drawing on his extensive knowledge and experience of the region, Angus Lunn gives a comprehensive account of several types of habitats and geographical areas, including woodlands, the Kielder Forest, moorlands, other inland terrestrial habitats such as montane and limestone habitats and lowland mires, rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ponds, and the coast.
