Walks Through History in the
Heart of England, Roger Seedhouse - The
Heart of England is rich in history, both ancient and more modern, and the
twenty-four walks in this book offer the enquiring walker many intriguing
glimpses of a bygone age with iron-age forts, medieval castles and even a second
world war camp. Most are based on English Heritage sites, although a few others
have been included because of their particular interest. Distances vary from 3 miles up to 13.5 miles
(although this longer one can be divided up to create two separate walks). All
of them start at, or pass through, places of historical interest which will add
greatly to your appreciation of a day out in beautiful walking country. Most have good pubs en route. Published June 01 ►Get this book for less than half price! |

Walking with the Famous and the Infamous in
Shropshire, Roger Seedhouse -
How
many historical characters can you name who once lived or had strong links with
Shropshire?
Charles Darwin, Clive of India and Thomas Telford yes, but what about
Abraham Darby and Caractacus?
Those not
always noted for their good natures include Judge Jeffreys, the hanging Judge,
Mad Jack Mytton, Wild Edric who led resistance to the Norman invasion, Ippikin
the 14th Century robber knight and Wild Humphrey Kynaston, a 16th
Century highwayman.
In
this unique book 15 walks take you through the areas where they lived, worked,
died or acted out the events for which they have become renowned - while at the
same time relating the principal events of their lives. In an original and
distinctive style they are written through the characters' own eyes - as if they
were telling their own stories - bringing both the walks and the characters
alive. Published Oct 02 |
