The Old Ways : A Journey on Foot

Sue says about The Old Ways: "It can’t be a list of my favourite books without including Robert Macfarlane. This is my favourite of his, I enjoyed accompanying him on a journey around Britain and beyond via ancient tracks and byways. It’s an inspiring book that’s often in my thoughts when walking myself."

Following the tracks, holloways, drove-roads and sea paths that form part of a vast ancient network of routes criss-crossing the British Isles and beyond, Robert Macfarlane discovers a lost world - a landscape of the feet and the mind, of pilgrimage and ritual, of stories and ghosts; above all of the places and journeys which inspire and inhabit our imaginations.
