About the book
For six hundred years, wool travelled out of the hills on packhorse trails. Edward Marsh walks the old routes and finds the inns, bridges and market towns they left behind.
Illustrated with old maps and photographs. A favourite with walkers and anyone new to the area.

A lighthouse, a missing father and a winter that won't end. I read it in two sittings, then made Tom read it too.

Tom
recommends
A body on the mudflats, a village that closes ranks and a detective who'd rather be fishing. Proper crime with a sharp twist.
