Description
The Old Ways is a journey through Britain's ancient paths and landscapes, where Robert Macfarlane uncovers the secrets of a beautiful and underappreciated world.
Following the tracks, holloways, drove-roads and sea paths that criss-cross the British Isles and beyond, Macfarlane discovers a lost world - a landscape of pilgrimage and ritual, of stories and ghosts; above all of the places and journeys which inspire and inhabit our imaginations.
This book sets the imagination tingling, laying an irresistible trail for readers to follow. With his rare physical intelligence, Macfarlane affords total immersion in place, elements and the passage of time, making for a wonderful and immersive read.
