Welcome to Country Life, from Editor Mark Hedges
Welcome to Country Life. A magazine like no other.
For more than 128 years, the magazine has served as a custodian of British architecture, gardens, culture and the countryside and is as relevant and engaging today as it was when it first launched. I do hope you enjoy reading your copies as much as I, and my team, love producing it — but until they start tumbling through the letterbox I hope this video of me saying hello will at least suffice.
Mark Hedges, Editor-in-Chief, Country Life magazine
