At current rates of loss, countryside free from major disturbance could all but disappear in most regions of England well before the end of the century. Startling new maps published recently by countryside campaigners CPRE show that currently 50% of England is disturbed by the sight and sound of nearby roads, urban areas and other major infrastructure.

Maps show that in the early 1960s 26% of Englands land area was disturbed by urban intrusion; in the early 1990s this had grown to 41%; and by 2007 50% of England was affected by urban intrusion. This shows that the rate of loss is actually increasing.

    The video is actually just some short clips recorded on my (photographic) camera from various different occasions, that i one day decided to concoct together to make this movie to try and raise awareness as to how fast England is losing its green and pleasant landscape.

  • love the old world style of the landscape and wide open views. maybe other times of year some would pop out with more color. simple landscape pics on my channel of countrysides if anyone wishes to come share. ( save the nature )
