Ancient Britain for Modern Folk by Tom Howells

In this increasingly globalised, modernised, interconnected world, what can we learn from the first temples and burial sites built by our ancestors?

Ancient Britain is much more beautiful - and accessible - than you think. From the colossal stones of Avebury to the remains of Neolithic villages in Orkney, this field guide explores the histories and mysteries of over 90 ancient sites. In an increasingly virtual world, these vast, unknowable monuments remind us of our deep ties with the land, the seasons and the people that came before us. 

This handbook brings some of the muddier, forgotten aspects of our shared history to life, offering a compelling insight into the origins of British cultural identity and a reminder of our deep-rooted connection to the earth.
