Sager's journey proceeds geographically from east to west. From the hops and orchards of Kent, the Garden of England, to the urbane county of Surrey full of parks, country houses and literary associations, from the beetling cliffs of the South Downs to the broad woods and heaths of the Weald of the North Downs in Sussex, from the village greens of Hampshire to the sea air of the colourful Isle of Wight.
