Discover the hidden corners and forgotten crevices of Britain's landscapes, from
lost rural treasures to unseen urban gems.
Landscapes reflect and shape our behaviour. They make us who we are and bear
witness to the shifting patterns of human life over the generations.
Bringing to bear a lifetime's digging, archaeologist Francis Pryor delves into
Britain's hidden urban and rural landscapes, from Whitby Abbey to the navvy camp
at Risehill in Cumbria, from Tintagel to Tottenham's Broadwater Farm. Through
fields, woods, moors, roads, tracks and towns, he reveals the stories of our
physical surroundings and what they meant to the people who formed them, used
them and lived in them. These landscapes, he stresses, are our common physical
inheritance. If we can understand how to make them yield up their secrets, it
will help us, their guardians, to maintain and shape them for future
generations.
