About This Book

The author offers a lyrical portrait of spring across southern England, moving county by county through chalk downs, moors, marshes, river valleys, and coastal ports to evoke the region's great variety of landscape and local character. He describes ancient towns, cathedrals, village churches, barrows and tumuli, and the network of rivers and lanes that link them, and reflects on walking as a way to recover historical memory and a communal sense of place. Throughout, pastoral details and antiquarian observation intertwine with meditations on continuity, pilgrimage, and the countryside's enduring genius loci.
