Short Walks to Curious Places: Exploring 50 of Britain's Ancient Sites, Myths and Legends
Roly Smith
Satisfy your curiosity for mysterious sites, ancient history, legends and folklore with this book of walks through and to gems of the British countryside. A walk in the countryside is made immeasurably more satisfying and interesting if it takes you to a curious place, through countryside with a story to tell, or is linked to a historical, mythical or legendary event. The British countryside is rich in these kinds of landscapes, perhaps richer than anywhere else in the world, and it is blessed with a network of footpaths which can lead you to them.
Excite young and old walkers alike as you lead them along the legendary fateful route Sir Gawain took to the Green Chapel in the classic 14th century tale Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; or tour the bizarre natural rock formations at Brimham Rocks in Yorkshire. You could visit the spectacular High Force waterfall in Durham, or look for the Hogwarts Express crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct in the Scottish Highlands. Perhaps you'd like a magical stroll through Wistman's Wood, the fairytale Dartmoor oak forest, or to wander along the beautiful Cornish coastline to Tintagel Castle, the supposed birthplace of King Arthur.
Short Walks to Curious Places features the very best of these walks. Each walk is between two and ten miles in length, providing variety for walkers of all abilities, and features beautiful photography, directional details and useful information on how to guide yourself along the route. The story behind the walk, and the reason for it, is paramount, taking you to some fascinating places in the British countryside.
