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. . Language: English
