Summary

Britain's high places are many & varied, from the rolling hills & lush valleys of the Malverns to the vertiginous slopes of Snowdonia, the romantic peaks & vistas of the Lake District & the silent sub-Arctic tundra of the Cairngorms. As he explores our hills, moors & mountains, Ian Crofton is keenly aware of the echoes of those who have been there before, from prehistory to the present day. At the same time, he is finely tuned to the miracles of the present moment while among hills. Drawing on a lifetime of walking & climbing across Britain, Crofton is a well-informed & companionable guide, combining personal experiences with a keen curiosity about the history of mountain landscapes, the people who once lived, worked, suffered & died in them, & those who have wandered through them in wonder.
