Description
The Long Walk to Glastonbury Via the Ridgeway, Avebury and Stonehenge by Stewart Harding In May 1973, three intrepid individuals embarked on a six-week journey from Reading to Glastonbury, tracing the ancient path of the Ridgeway, Avebury, and Stonehenge. Their diary, kept but forgotten for nearly 50 years, has been rediscovered and offers a unique glimpse into their spiritual quest and the hardships they faced. The diary's story is enhanced by the reminiscences of the participants, who reflect on their experiences and insights gained during their time living out of doors. This is a touching and humorous account of their journey, which provides a fascinating insight into the history and culture of the region. Stewart Harding, a landscape historian and campaigner, brings his expertise to this project, shedding light on the significance of the places they visited.
