This beautifully illustrated volume from English Heritage is the
result of two years of meticulous field survey work. ... The use of
aerial photographs, reconstructions and detailed maps and plans
make this an attractive as well as informative volume for those
interested in history both of Exmoor iteself and more generally,
hill farming and the role of Victorian innovation.
Rural History Today
... provides a perspective that combines an important narrative of
the 'big picture', with nuanced, detailed and effective local case
studies, and is worth reading to enrich any trip to this
much-visited location.
Agricultural History Review
... this exceptionally well illustrated survey ...
British Archaeology
This is a well-written and handsomely-produced book, splendidly
illustrated and evidently the result of much dedicated
research.
Joe Bettey, Somerset Archaeology & Natural History
... a readable and illuminating study of how Exmoor was exploited
from medieval times onwards.
Bob Silvester, Medieval Settlement Research
... an authoritative account of a diverse and challenging upland
landscape which repays detailed examination.
Hazel Riley, Landscape History
If you want an example of outstanding interdisciplinary publishing,
this is it. ... In a short review it is impossible to do justice to
the quality of the evidence and its assessment by the authors. ...
The quality of the illustrations - full colour throughout - is
outstanding, and, overall, this is an exemplary example of how to
publish landscape research.
Stephen Rippon, Medieval Archaeology
