Landscape History has direct links to the earlier discipline of Historical Geography. It is the story of how the present landscape, and the features in it, has evolved to create what we see today; this on a national, regional and local scale. Such studies often need a reference to basic geology and to the physical factors which have impacted on the landscape; thereafter there are lots of sub-sections such as natural vegetation, farming and farm buildings, coastal studies, industrial location, housing, churches and transport networks. Landscape History is as much about CONTEXT as local details. I have written, in some way or other about most of the above, have guided many groups, given illustrated talks to many local and regional societies and hope to continue to do so.
