“This fascinating spotter’s guide to Britain’s historical
landscape – what to see and how to decipher it – is rammed with intriguing nuggets..."
Ever looked at a field, and wondered what the lumps and bumps are?
Or stared at a church and puzzled over how old it is?
Do you want to hunt for dolmens, reaves and tumuli?
Wherever you go in Britain there’s history woven into the landscape around you – in the shape of a field, the wall of a cottage, a standing stone or churchyard, even in the grass under your feet…
And there are literally thousands of sites scattered across the country that don’t have tickets and tour guides, but are waiting to reveal their secrets.
My new book is your guide to that landscape!
It arms the explorer with the crucial information needed to ‘read’
the landscape and spot the human activities that have shaped our green and
pleasant land.
Photographs & diagrams point out specific details and typical
examples to help you understand what you’re looking at, or looking for. From hedgerows to corpse roads, from the Highlands to the Sussex Weald, the British Landscape is yours to explore.
