This two-part Zoom course looks at a selection of British landscapes from Scotland to Cornwall and discusses how they entered the national consciousness at different times and in different ways, which has finally resulted in some level of protection and conservation from Sites of Special Scientific Interest to Areas of Outstanding National Beauty, National Parks and World Heritage Sites. The history of these changes is discussed through the different roles played by writers, artists and scientists whose work has impacted upon our understanding and appreciation of the remarkably varied British landscape. No previous knowledge is required to participate in this course.
