A beautiful new edition of a classic work of landscape history, in
which Alfred Watkins introduced the idea of ancient 'ley lines'
criss-crossing the English countryside. First published in 1925,
The Old Straight Track described the author's theory of 'ley
lines', pre-Roman pathways consisting of aligned stone circles and
prehistoric mounds, used by our Neolithic ancestors. Watkins's
ideas have intrigued and inspired generations of readers - from
historians to hill walkers, and from amateur archaeologists to
new-age occultists. This edition of The Old Straight Track, with a
substantial introduction by Robert Macfarlane, will appeal to all
who treasure the history, contours and mystery of Britain's ancient
landscapes.
