Mike Parker, bestselling author of Map Addict, is back with a very full, intelligent & witty exploration into a glorious & passionate British subject
- footpaths & the history of land ownership. Mike discovers how these paths have become part of our cultural landscape & why, at the tender age of 44, he suddenly finds himself at a crossroads. Provocative, funny & personal, this book celebrates Britain's unique & extraordinary network of footpaths. It examines their chequered & surprisingly turbulent history, from the Enclosures Acts of the eighteenth century to the 1932 Mass Trespass on Kinder Scout in Derbyshire; & from the hard-won post-war establishment of great National Trails like the Pennine Way to the dramatic latter-day battles by the likes of Nicholas van Hoogstraten & Madonna to keep ramblers off their l&. The story ranges far & wide, to all corners of the country & beyond, & is filled with the many characters that Mike engages with along the way
- the poets & artists, farmers & ramblers, landowners & Rights of Way officers & campaigners, historians, archivists & anyone else who crosses his path (or even tries to block it).
