Breathtaking Beauty of Britain

Breathtaking beauty of Britain: Landscape photographs taken around the UK reveal the stunning wild countryside

The monument rises from a hill behind a shroud of mist. Before it, trees shed their coats into a placid body of water reflecting an cloud-flecked sky.It could be the setting for a fantasy adventure, a game of thrones played out in murky history, whose heroes have long since been forgotten.And indeed it probably was once, for this ethereal image is a photograph of Glastonbury Tor, one of England's most spiritual and historic locations.
