Breathtaking beauty of Britain: Landscape photographs taken around the UK
reveal the stunning wild countryside
The monument rises from a hill behind a shroud of mist. Before it, trees shed their

And indeed it probably was once, for this ethereal image is a photograph of
Glastonbury Tor2, one of England's most spiritual and historic locations.
The photo is just one of dozens of entries from last year’s Take A View Landscape

Cumbria won the top spot when Derby photographer, Tony Bennett, became the
seventh person to win the prestigious title.
His picture was chosen by the judges from the thousands of entries and appears in
the book that accompanied last year’s award. [...]
