The Old Ways / Robert MacFarlane / 9780141030586

Robert MacFarlane travels Britain's ancient paths and discovers the secrets of our beautiful, under-appreciated landscape. Following the tracks, holloways, drove-roads and sea paths that form part of a vast ancient network of routes criss-crossing the British Isles and beyond, Robert MacFarlane discovers a lost world - a landscape of the feet and the mind, of pilgrimage and ritual, of stories and ghosts; above all of the places and journeys which inspire and inhabit our imaginations.
