BBC Countryfile Live: Tweeds and Modernity with Oliver Cox

As part of the BBC's Countryfile Live show (4-7 August at Blenheim Palace), Oxford's Dr Oliver Cox will be marking the tercentenary of Lancelot ‘Capability' Brown’s death. In a talk at the show, he will suggest that the remarkable landscapes created for aristocrats in the eighteenth century, provide clues for how to answer our contemporary challenges of population growth, urban sprawl, and landscape preservation.
