Editorial Review: Description: "See the natural beauty and man-made wonders of England from a stunning vantage point From the magnificent White Cliffs of Dover to historic Hadrian’s Wall, from Stonehenge to Big Ben, Brighton, Bath and beyond, see England as never before. A helicopter-mounted camera surveys this land of history and mysteries, literature and fairy tales, castles and conquerors. An informative narrative and an eclectic complement the spectacular views. In the South, highlights include Cheddar Gorge and Southampton. In the North, visit Liverpool, home of the Beatles, and history-rich York. In London, get a new view of familiar sights. For the literary-minded, enjoy visits to Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon and the moors of Lorna Doone. Sports fans will thrill to the view of Wimbledon, and royal watchers will enjoy a king’s ransom of castles. Includes 19 minutes of bonus footage not seen on public television." Amazon.com: A visual feast for Anglophiles, Visions of England is the third installment of the popular PBS-aired Visions series, which applies the Over Washington (or whatever state) formula to European countries. It begins with the welcoming white cliffs of Dover, moves north to York, Hadrian’s Wall, and Liverpool, over to Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon, down to Cambridge and Oxford, then back to the sights of London. The journey naturally includes plenty of castles and other ruins, cathedrals, manor houses, countrysides, and cities. Even if you’re a frequent visitor to England or a postcard collector, you’ll be seeing things from an entirely new angle in this spectacular aerial footage (shot from a helicopter; you can catch the occasional shadow). The music is pleasant and appropriate, and the narration is informative but thankfully minimal (sometimes lapsing into cuteness along the lines of "You know, 1066 and all that."). Added to the DVD are 19 minutes of narrator-less bonus footage. Perhaps a future installment or two will cover Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
 Rating:  - absolutely gorgeous videoThis is a beautiful and breathtaking video . Scenery was out of this world and I am extremely glad I bought it Rating: - Hail Britannia! ~ A Sight To SeeMuch like most of you out there I first became acquainted with the `Vision Series' of aerial travelogue features on PBS television. Whenever I came upon one while channel surfing I'd immediately put the remote down and sit back and relax. It wasn't long before I decided these programs were something I'd never tire of watching and needed to be added to my private DVD collection. Released in '05, `Visions of England' is the third production in the series. As with the previous two (Greece ... Read More Rating: - Visions of EnglandTakes me back time and again. I love England and it helps with being 'homesick' for that beautiful country. Rating: - A Fun Travel DVDI can only echo what the other reviewers have written about "Visions of England" the only complaints I have with it are the music is quite different from what I heard on PBS, There is no listing of the music pieces in the booklet, which would have been a nice addition to the booklet. As some of the reivewers wrote there is so much more scenery that could have been put on the disc. Though as it is a nice time can be spent watching this DVD which can be said about any of the "Visions" series. Rating: - Visions of EnglandFabulous! I have been to England and enjoyed seeing many of the sights I remember. It's like being there. Browse for similar items by category:
