A journey along one of Britain's oldest roads, from Dover to
Anglesey, in search of the hidden history that makes us who we are
today. 'A bravura piece of writing - Bill Bryson on acid' Tom
Holland Winding its way from the White Cliffs of Dover to the Druid
groves of Anglesey, the ancient road of Watling Street has gone by
many different names. It is a road of witches and ghosts, of queens
and highwaymen, of history and myth, of Bletchley Park
codebreakers, Chaucer, Boudicca, Dickens and James Bond. But
Watling Street is not just the story of a route across our island.
It is an acutely observed exploration of Britain and who we are
today, told with wit and an unerring eye for the curious and
surprising.
