Complementing his bestselling The Most Beautiful Villages of England, Hugh Palmer has now produced a stunning sequence of images of 25 of the most beguiling small towns of rural and seaside England. From the forbidding mien of Barnard Castle in the north to the honey-coloured streets of the Cotswolds, from the elegant Georgiana of Buxton to the magnificent abbey at Bury St Edmunds, the whole of England is represented in a series of delightful photographs and perceptive texts.
