About This Book

A road-book itinerary that traces an old turnpike from the suburbs toward the coast, blending close descriptions of steep gradients, villages, inns and countryside with antiquarian and historical anecdotes. It pairs topographical curiosity and traveller’s impressions—especially of cycling and early motoring—with sketches of local architecture, moated sites, coach-era relics and ecclesiastical memorials. Short historical notes on medieval warfare and regional memory punctuate chapters of social color and rural customs, producing an episodic, practical and observant account of landscape, everyday life and the changing character of an ancient highway.
