Description
A journey through Britain's most mythical, legendary and awe-inspiring landscapes.
In Legendary Landscapes, Roly Smith guides readers to 50 extraordinary places across the country, from Cornwall to Caithness - each reached on foot and alive with folklore, deep history and timeless atmosphere.
From Neolithic flint mines in the Norfolk Breckland and a haunting Bronze Age village on Dartmoor, to a hidden medieval deer park near Birmingham, the remote Roman fort on Hardknott Pass and the awe-inspiring, cathedral-like Fingal's Cave on Staffa, these landscapes are bound up with ancient peoples, lost worlds and enduring legends shaped over millennia.
This richly evocative volume explores the myths, histories and natural forces that give each site its unique character. Smith brings these extraordinary locations vividly to life, revealing how they have inspired generations and continue to stir the imagination today.
With striking photography, a beautiful hand-drawn map and practical visitor information, Legendary Landscapes invites readers to step beyond the familiar and discover a more mysterious, storied Britain.
