We discover how land-grabbing Norman barons began the enclosure of our countryside, and how our beloved national parks and long-distance trails emerged from the ashes of two world wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, Crane takes the reader on some of his most memorable walks: along the Hadrian's Wall Path, into the icy Cairngorms and to the banks of the Severn where he discovers footprints from over 7,000 years ago. \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Path More Travelled\u003c\/span\u003e is a passionate ode to walking - and a call to rediscover and protect the lifeblood of our landscapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58551061840217,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/2940\/9625\/files\/thepathmore.jpg?v=1783679791","url":"https:\/\/natureboundbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-path-more-travelled-the-secret-history-of-britains-footpaths","provider":"Nature Bound Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
