The original bestseller from the beloved author of UNDERLAND, LANDMARKS and THE LOST WORDS - Robert Macfarlane travels Britain´s ancient paths and discovers the secrets of our beautiful, underappreciated landscape

´The Old Ways confirms Macfarlane´s reputation as one of the most eloquent and observant of contemporary writers about nature´ Scotland on Sunday

Following the tracks, holloways, drove-roads and sea paths that form part of a vast ancient network of routes criss-crossing the British Isles and beyond, Robert Macfarlane discovers a lost world - a landscape of the feet and the mind, of pilgrimage and ritual, of stories and ghosts above all of the places and journeys which inspire and inhabit our imaginations.
