An engaging portrait of Hampstead Heath - a place rich not just in
natural wonders but in history and monuments, emotions and
memories, people and places. 'I enjoyed every inch of the way, from
Parliament Hill to the Pergola... A late-life little masterpiece'
Ferdinand Mount 'A love letter, both to the Heath and to his late
wife' Islington Tribune 'An affectionate book which blends personal
anecdote, history and interviews' Ham & High The eight hundred
acres of Hampstead Heath lie just four miles from central London;
and yet unlike the manicured inner-city parks, it feels like the
countryside: it has hills and lakes, wild spots and tame spots.
Hunter Davies has lived within a stone's throw of Hampstead Heath
for more than sixty years and has walked on it nearly every day of
his London life. For him, it is not just a place of recreation and
relaxation but also a treasure-house of memories and emotions. In
The Heath, he visits all parts of this, the largest area of common
land in Britain's capital city: from Kenwood House to the Vale of
Health, from Parliament Hill to Boudicca's Mound, and from the
Ladies Bathing Pond to the fabulous pergola. As he walks, Davies
talks to the diverse array of individuals who frequent the Heath:
regulars; visitors; dog walkers; stall holders at the weekly
farmer's market; famous faces having their morning stroll;
twenty-first-century hippies spreading peace, love and happiness.
