Country Life 29 September 2021
Country Life 29 September 2021 looks at trees, dog training and re-lives the Age of Steam.


Here's what you'll find inside:
STEAM MASTER: Jack Watkins pays tribute to Richard Trevithick, the unsung hero of the Age of Steam.
THE ART OF TREES: Trees, standing in lone majesty, long lines or lush forest, are an artist’s dream. Laura Gascoigne meets the new Arborealists.
DOG TRAINING: Paula Lester and her labrador, Nimrod, learn from the master: Ben Randall.
MY FAVOURITE PAINTING: Marine Tanguy’s choice: a painting forged in fire.
CONSERVATION: The effective work of the late conservationist Philip Wayre is being continued in the North Pennines, discovers Robin Page.
MODERNIST MARVEL: Modernist country houses may have been dismissed as ugly, but they deserve a second look, believes Adrian Tinniswood.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
INTERIORS: Botanical walls and bright tables.
GARDENS: The surroundings of Batcombe, Somerset, inspired its gardens, reveals Natasha Goodfellow.
RECIPE: Kitchen garden cook Melanie Johnson on blackberries.
And much more.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
