Country Life May 27 2015
Country Life 27 2015 previews the latest in luxury and reveals a new play by Shakespeare.


This week in Country Life we visit some of the Cornish families who continue to keep their estates, and the local economy, flourishing. We also celebrate Red Ruby Devons who so beautifully enhance the landscape, we look back at the medal winners of this year's Chelsea Flower Show, we reveal a new work by Shakespeare which was vitally important for his career and our kitchen garden advises how to cook a delicious gluten-free elderflower and honey cake.
