Natural landscape, birdsong, natural-looking woodland

[cummins]

Finding tranquility in modern life has become so difficult that even to look for it is liable to have the opposite effect.

So, to help all those left fuming by the lack of quiet, beauty and emptiness, the Campaign to protect Rural England (CPRE) has created a map revealing where, in this densely-populated, heavily built-up country, one can find tranquility and where one cannot. In devising it's map, the CPRE looked for five components: seeing natural landscape, hearing birdsong, hearing peace and quiet, seeing natural-looking woodland and seeing the stars at night.
