Book Description
8 walks following the Pilgrims Routes of Britain. Giving history and extra information about some of our best known ancient routeways. A wonderful companion to these historical and spiritual walkways. Take a person, a time and a place: say Canterbury in 597, St Augustine has just arrived and sets off walking. What is he thinking? How does he find his way across the country? What would he find when he arrived at the various places along the route? Using historical stories and vignettes Cecilia Baker has gathered together to follow his, and other, footsteps we can know him and his world a little better. We can follow his route today but thankfully not have to worry about wild boars, nor highway robbery (hopefully!), nor indeed of falling foul of the monarch or his henchmen as was very much a possibility in the past. England is criss-crossed by a myriad of ancient routes that are being way-marked and walked for the first time in, often, hundreds of years, named after people who have gently faded into history. Through this book you can explore the rich heritage of England while enjoying these ancient paths. You will learn about these routes both from a geographical and historical, but also from a spiritual point of view. Walking has never been more popular both to make us healthier and to enjoy the quality of life that we now crave. We are able to enjoy this pastime today in a way that was never possible in more ancient times. So put on comfortable shoes and take a raincoat, this is Britain after all, and start walking in the footsteps of our ancient ancestors.

Book Description
The legend of King Arthur developed in the 12th century from the Celtic traditions of Wales and Armorica, the latter sources being known as the Matière de Bretagne. The fundamental text was published in 1155 by Geoffrey of Monmouth: The History of the Kings of Britain provided the true model for the Arthurian romances, with the appearance of Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and the fairy Morgane. The legend of the Grail also developed at the same time. Here we shall discover the important role played by the seigneury of Dol-Combourg, situated in the Marches of Brittany.
