Reviews
- Fascinating and accessible
The books that Ian is taking these podcasts from are also marvellous. showing not just the wonders of the north of England, but Ian’s appreciation and expertise in them. and you get a real understanding for why it’s worth taking time to understand the geology to understand the landscape and the history of the places we love.
