Description

Watling Street, a road that has traversed Britain for centuries, holds a wealth of hidden history that shapes our identity today. From the White Cliffs of Dover to the Druid groves of Anglesey, this ancient route has borne witness to a diverse array of stories, from witches and ghosts to queens and highwaymen.

John Higgs' engaging exploration of Watling Street is not just a journey along a historical route, but a nuanced examination of Britain and its people. With wit and a keen eye for the curious and surprising, Higgs reveals the complex and often contradictory nature of our nation's past.

This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on the history that underpins our modern world, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the stories that have shaped our country.
