This book follows the 230 miles of the Fosse Way that spears straight through the heart of England, telling the history of the towns and cities that grew up along the Roman road, and describing the wildlife to be found in nature reserves and green spaces along the route as the seasons change. Month by month, we travel from the flatlands of Lincolnshire, through the East Midlands Wolds and Shakespeare's Warwickshire, to the golden Cotswolds and the sumptuous West Country. From bloody battles that changed the course of history, to ancient traditions still followed, this beautifully written book is full of fascinating information, folklore, philosophy, bird identification, and some unexpected tales, with the need to value and protect our natural environment shining through.
