Nicholas Crane
In The Path More Travelled, acclaimed geographer and travel writer Nicholas Crane explores the hidden history of Britain's coast-to-coast web, from prehistoric routeways walked by European migrants 12,000 years ago to pilgrim ways and coffin roads, turnpikes, towpaths and city pavements. We discover how land-grabbing Norman barons began the enclosure of our countryside, and how our beloved national parks and long-distance trails emerged from the ashes of two world wars.
Along the way, Crane takes the reader on some of his most memorable walks: along the Hadrian's Wall Path, into the icy Cairngorms and to the banks of the Severn where he discovers footprints from over 7,000 years ago. The Path More Travelled is a passionate ode to walking - and a call to rediscover and protect the lifeblood of our landscapes.©2026 Nicholas Crane (P)2026 Orion Publishing Group Limited

批評家のレビュー
In-depth research, rich detail, fresh revelations and great storytelling . . . All the characteristics of Nicholas Crane's work are combined in this absorbing and exhilarating look at the wonderful world of Britain's pathways. This book will literally expand your horizons (MICHAEL PALIN)
A glorious love letter to the British countryside, and its towns and cities too - a panoptic, deeply researched and compelling history of our nation told via its paths, tracks and old ways. It is also a wise and generous plea for us to cherish and expand our 'enchanted maze' (PATRICK BARKHAM)
A delightful meander through the lanes and byways of Britain as they've been trodden through the centuries. In the knowledgeable company of Nicholas Crane, you can feel the autumn mist and summer sun as you trample leaves or gaze out to the coast from one of our island's many paths. Highly recommended (CATHERINE FLETCHER)
This a wonderful exploration of the pathways that have stretched across Britain over 11 thousand years. It weaves a fascinating web connecting us to the past beneath our feet and to what we have lost through fences, enclosures and development. Evocative, beautifully written and witty, it is also a passionate statement on the human freedom to roam (VANESSA TAYLOR)
I feel I understand now, as never before, what it was like to wander through the trackless Mesolithic forest, follow Neolithic boardwalks across the marshes, visit Stonehenge in the company of the Amesbury Archer and spin around corners in an Iron Age chariot. Wonderfully immersive and full of fascinating detail about the dangers and delights of footpaths through time (Fiona Robertson)
A glorious journey along our network of footpaths, a voyage that introduces stories of Romans and royals, growing cities, immigration, industrial revolution, military expansion. A richly satisfying literary trek, with missed turnings on remote rural rights-of-way and careful perambulations along once-narrow paths that in time became urban highways. A book to read and savour at home, and then stow in the backpack alongside thermos, sandwiches and an Ordnance Survey map (PETROC TRELAWNY)
