Philip Tyler is a writer, famer, photographer and conservationist, currently living in the Yorkshire Dales. It’s here that he has created lakes and woodland in order to cultivate a multitude of wildlife. The picturesque tranquillity of his stud farm home, where he also breeds horses, sheep and ponies may well be the inspiration for his written work.
