✦ Synopsis


The kingdom of DΓ‘l Riata : Rothesay to Kilmartin -- Gilsland to Haltwhistle -- Marches : Telford to Wrexham -- Haltwhistle to Hotbank -- Looking for giants : London to Sutton Hoo -- Once Brewed to Warden Hill -- Eda Frandsen : Falmouth to Mallaig -- A Corbridge circular -- Heroes : Wareham to Yatton -- Walking on the Wall on the spot -- Time among the Britons : Anglesey to Bardsey Island -- The Tyne: Hexham to Ovingham -- Sense of place : Donegal -- Ovingham to Newcastle -- Speed : Meigle to Canterbury -- Newcastle to Jarrow -- Midwinter : York to Whitby -- Postscript : Who are the British?;"The five centuries between the end of Roman Britain and the death of Alfred the Great have left few voices save a handful of chroniclers, but Britain's 'Dark Ages' can still be explored through material remnants but above all, landscapes. In the Land of Giants explores Britain's lost medieval past by walking its paths and exploring its lasting imprint on valley, hill and field. From York to Whitby, from London to Sutton Hoo, from Edinburgh to Anglesey and from Hadrian's Wall to Loch Tay, each of his ten walk narratives form parts of a wider portrait of a Britain of fort and fyrd, crypt and crannog, church and causeway, holy well and memorial stone."--Back cover.
