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.
