You won't be able to miss this week's magazine on the shelves: our cover illustrates our recent interest in hats, and what they say about their wearer. What does your hat say about you? Buy Country Life to find out.

Plus one of our plucky staff members learns how to shoot a longbow, and we talk to Chris Bonington about his incredible life as our most famous climber.

We find out what Barbera Taylor Bradford's favourite painting is, and consider Agincourt. As the 600th anniversary approaches, John Goodall puts one of England’s most significant victories into context.

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.
