A reformation of my years in England

"I have found the Visions of England an elegant sojourn. I was taken aback by the beautiful cinematography. I spent several years studying and lecturing at Oxford University (Christ Church College), and this DVD does justice to the landscape of this magnificent isle. What stunning visual photography in the form of both the previous Italy and Greece dvd's. For the armchair tourist, this dvd will enthrall all of the senses."
Gorgeous Scenery Steals the Heart

"I bought this dvd as a treat for myself - I absolutely love England. It's hard to go wrong with the natural beauty of England. The dvd is quite relaxing and enjoyable. The voiceover can be a bit tiresome - she's a bit overly grandiose in her delivery. The visuals - mostly by airplane - aren't quite as stirring as the "Visions of Germany - Along the Rhine" was - that one really was enchanting and the voiceover was more informative. This is still a very nice hour spent enjoying the natural beauty and history uniquely shown by helicopter and airplane along with lovely background music. It would make a great gift for someone who misses their home in England or just loves England like I do."

"I loved watching this on OPB! It was after I traveled there so I was excited to see where exactally I was and what it looked like from above. I personally loved the soundtrack to this. The soft classical music was great. I also loved the narrator. She had a lovely soothing accent. I looked online a long time ago to see if I could purchase it and the only way was to donate $90 to the Oregon Public Broadcasting network. But now I can!!"
Bird's eye view

"This is the movie I always wanted someone to make--a flyover of some of the most beautiful places in England. The photography is wonderful and lets you soar to views you won't otherwise get to experience. The only thing that would improve the concept is to be able to drop down inside these landmarks for a few minutes along the way. If I had never been to England, this film would be the inspiration to go. Instead it is the inspiration to return."
