Britain probably has a greater variety of landscapes than any other country of comparable size.
From the mountains of Scotland, northern Wales and northern England, the wet flatlands of East Anglia and the lonely moors of Yorkshire, Exmoor and Dartmoor, Britain has a lot of geographical and geological variation in an area the size of Oregon.
Now a photographer has captured some of the country's most beautiful landscapes (in England only) for his new book England: The Panoramas.
Amongst his breathtaking pictures are those of Cat's Back Ridge in the Black Mountains in rural Herefordshire, literally right on the English/Welsh border (most of the mountains are in Wales with a few extending over the border into England); sunset over the lonely North Yorshire Moors; a snowy Scafell Pike, England's tallest mountain and the 13th tallest in the whole of the UK; and boats and yachts anchoring off Snapes Point in Devon in one of the mildest parts of the country.

Using a panoramic film camera in the magic hours of sunrise and sunset, Mark Denton has captured England’s greatest landscapes for his new book England: The Panoramas.
Green green grass of home: View from the Cat's Back Ridge in rural Herefordshire, with Wales on the right, where the Black Mountains ridge looms out of the morning mists
Blackpool illumination: The Lancashire seaside resort is bathed in pink at twilight as the tide recedes, leaving the famous Tower and North Pier reflected in the miles of muddy sand
Red sky at night: The summit of Roseberry Topping commands the northern fringe of the North Yorkshire Moors, a lonely sentinel witnessing the going down of the sun
Touching the void: Dale Head in the Lake District reaches up towards the clouds on a winter's evening, with Scafell Pike, England's tallest mountain (and the 13th tallest in the UK), looming in the distance
Over hill and dale: The imposing bulk of Blencathra, seen from neighbouring Lake District peak Low Rigg, reflects the setting sun as shadows fall over the surrounding fields
Morning has broken: The tall pines of Tarn Hows in Cumbria shimmer with all the hues of spring, as the mountains of Langdale and Helvellyn soar in the distance
Dawn of aquarius: Salcombe, from Snapes Point in Devon, glitters in the morning light while small craft lie at anchor in an estuary that perfectly reflects the deep blue sky
Only the lonely: A solitary figure basks in the golden glow of sunset at Burton Bradstock in West Dorset, where iconic cliffs and sweeping beaches mark the gateway to the Jurassic Coast
