The Secret History of Britain's Footpaths
A fascinating coast-to-coast look at Britain’s most historic footpaths and walkways from the acclaimed geographer and author Nicholas Crane. Discover the prehistoric routeways walked by European migrants 12,000 years ago, how Saxons, Normans and the industrial revolution changed our landscape and how our beloved national parks emerged from the ashes of two world wars.
Nicholas Crane will take you on a journey to discover some of his most memorable walks and calls on all of us to rediscover the lifeblood of our landscapes.
