This book will be indispensable to all those interested in
exploring the legacy of Britain's incredibly varied and exciting
military history, which extends over more than 2,500 years. The

Imperial War Museum, Portsmouth Royal Dockyard and the RAF Museum
to exhibitions focused on individual arms, such as the Tank Museum
or the Fleet Air Arm Museum, the major regimental museums and
notable private collections. All the major known battlefield sites
in Britain, from the Roman invasion to the Jacobite rebellions, are
included, with a description of each action and 1:25 000 Ordnance
Survey maps to help visitors trace the different stages of the
battle in today's landscape. An enormous variety of fortifications
are covered, ranging from prehistoric hill forts to medieval
castles, Victorian forts, Second World War defence lines to Cold
War bunkers. Information on access, opening times and admission
charges is given for each site and the gazetteer is organised on a
regional basis, with maps showing the location of the sites in
relation to major towns and roads. There are also feature spreads
on a wide variety of topics such as the Roman army, Celtic hill
forts, the Martello Towers, invasion defences, medieval warfare,
the Antonine Wall and many others.
