About This Book

The narrative follows an ancient track across the countryside, blending day-by-day walking notes with historical, archaeological, and folkloric reflections on prehistoric routes and local landmarks. Practical route descriptions and vivid landscape observation are interwoven with essays on roads, footpaths, and tradition, showing how earthworks, field patterns, and village features preserve traces of the past. Illustrated plates punctuate the itinerary, and contemplative passages consider the road as both a material route and a symbolic experience of movement, memory, and the enduring presence of the landscape.
