Hampstead Heath is an ancient London park situated five kilometres north of the city centre. Seven million people set foot on the Heath every year, making it one of London's best-loved and most-visited green spaces.
Featuring more than 150 colour photographs by award-winning photographer Matthew Maran, Hampstead Heath: London's Countryside takes you on a journey through the seasons, portraying the Heath's familiar scenes and hidden treasures in a new light. The book focuses on the area's thriving flora and fauna, including images of historic woodlands, hunting kestrels and life on the ponds, alongside information on animal behaviour, conservation and photographic techniques.
Since 2000 Matthew Maran has travelled the world photographing wildlife and landscapes, from Alaskan bears and South-East Asian primates to soda lakes, glacial rivers and primeval forests. His images are represented by Nature Picture Library and have featured in films, books, conservation journals and magazines including BBC Wildlife, Outdoor Photography and National Geographic. His work has also been awarded in the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the Wanderlust Travel Photographer of the Year and the British Wildlife Photography Awards.
