Country Life July 29 2015
Tearaway terriers , smoking guns, lightening rods and fancy pheasants.


This week in Country Life we celebrate the Jack Russell and discover there is no braver, more loyal or determined little dog. We also find out which of the 48 pheasant species rule the roost, we explore the pioneering business development of Broughton Hall in North Yorkshire, we reveal how Prince Albert came to permanently change the tide of British culture, we bring summer colour into the kitchen by using beetroot and leading figures reveal the moments and the places that conjure, for them, the ultimate field-sports heaven.
