About the book
These lost routes once connected communities, guided pilgrims, and shaped the very fabric of the countryside we know today. Jack Cornish embarks on a captivating journey to rediscover these vanished trails, uncovering the stories of the people who walked them and the reasons why they disappeared. From drove roads that once echoed with the sound of livestock to medieval trading routes now buried beneath motorways, he reveals how our relationship with the land has fundamentally changed over centuries. This is both a passionate call to preserve what remains of our path heritage and an inspiring exploration of how reconnecting with these lost ways might help us better understand our past and reshape our future relationship with the British landscape.
