From the heart of the West Country to the remote highlands of Scotland, the landscape of Britain is dotted with extraordinary sights, scapes and structures - treasure-filled Neolithic burial chambers, enigmatic hill carvings, holy wells and standing stones, crude pagan effigies, grisly fifteenth-century memento mori and fanciful follies in country parks. Homer Sykes captures these marvels of nature and of man in full colour and recounts their history and the legends that surround them.
