SOUTH DEVON: Our look at the AONBs of Britain heads south-west.

MICHAEL SANDLE’S FAVOURITE PAINTING: The sculptor chooses a frozen scene.

SIDBURY MILL: A Devon mill making flour once more.

A WALLED GARDEN PARADISE: Natasha Goodfellow visits a dreamy spot in Shropshire.

LUXURY: Cashmere, flowers and watches feature this week.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
