This companion to Ancient Tracks features 15 new scenic walking routes along Britain's ancient thoroughfares, complete with detailed instructions and maps, circular courses, historical background, and 70 color photos. Each of the walks in Historic Tracks is based on themes illuminating Britain's archeological, industrial, historical, and cultural heritage. Trace Cornwall's mining history as you walk along the spectacular coast of Land's End Peninsula; discover Constable's inspiration along the River Stour; and follow the Whiskey Road in Invernesshire. The book explains how each route came into being, who used it and why, the landscape it traverses, and the historical relics to be seen. There are also maps to the main routes, easy-to-follow directions for all the walks, and superb color photographs throughout.
