Celebrating the tercentenary of Sir Robert Atkyns's groundbreaking survey, this book presents a modern interpretation of his 1712 work on Gloucestershire. It critically assesses Atkyns's findings, comparing them with contemporary landscapes and other historical sources. The fully illustrated volume features both color and black-and-white images, along with a gazetteer of notable locations to visit. This accessible exploration is essential for anyone interested in the history of Gloucestershire and the broader field of local history.

A tour of the county's pathways and roads which reveals how the evolution of Gloucestershire society over time is reflected in both the uses and nature of the county's footpaths.

Originally published in 1980, the aim of this book was to help the A-level student make the most of the opportunity to undertake a local project.
