Excerpt from 5-star review at Amazon.co.uk

While the chapters all have wilderness as the central theme, the book as a whole manages to combine an eclectic mix of writings into a well-knit collection that encourages quiet mental contemplation of less hurried and stressful places ... Perfect as a present for anyone really who enjoys the outdoors and wants a good collection of writing about interesting places that they can dip into whenever and wherever for a quick reminder of that wilderness experience.

A beautifully produced anthology of some of Britain's wildest landscapes ... 130 stunning and superb photographs are accompanied by short personal essays ... written by authors who have chosen their own wild place to share with us.

Excerpt from review by the Open Space Society

Well illustrated with colour photographs, it makes you want to set off at once for these wonderful wildernesses.

Irish Mountain Log

There is a wide definition of wild areas: Hamish Brown wants to take you to St Kilda, while Kev Reynolds picks Ashdown Forest in Sussex ... Jacquetta Megarry takes the boat to the Great Blasket. The book is very well-illustrated and is remarkable value at the price.
