Based on his surveys of the Anglo-Welsh border country near his Hereford home, Alfred Watkins believed that in ancient times the country was criss-crossed by a network of straight-line travel routes, with prominent features of the landscape used as navigation points. Watkins's theories have intrigued and inspired generations of readers - from historians to hill walkers, and from amateur archaeologists to new-age occultists. This new edition of THE OLD STRAIGHT TRACK, with a substantial introduction by Robert Macfarlane, and retaining Watkins's original atmospheric black-and-white photographs, introduces a classic antiquarian text to a 21st-century audience. It will appeal to all who treasure the history, the contours and the mystery of Britain's ancient landscapes.
