Discover the history, legends and folklore of Britain’s most intriguing landmarks

This beautifully illustrated book reveals the secrets and stories of fifty icons of Britain’s landscape.

Discover how they came to be, the legends and traditions that surround them, and how they have inspired famous writers and poets. Reconnect with our ancient landscape with this fascinating and surprising guide.
