Chris Mayes started his career training to be an architect, but found that what surrounded buildings held greater fascination and moved toward a career focussed on landscapes. That career path has involved working as part of the management team on a private estate, local government landscape officer positions and more recently employment with both Natural England, as a landscape specialist and part of a small team producing the new National Character Area profiles, and English Heritage as their advisor on landscapes in the North East and North West. His experience over the last twenty years has been varied and includes authoring the Green Infrastructure Strategy for Herefordshire and developing a ‘views analysis’ tool with the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The award of an MSc (with distinction) in the Conservation of Historic Gardens and Cultural Landscapes by the University of Bath in 2009 was followed by three years of research into the impacts of wind energy development on the setting of cultural landscapes. Chris has a particular interest in the designed landscapes of the 16th and 17th centuries and 19th century cemeteries.
