The Highways and Byways of Britain

More about the book

Between the end of the 19th century and World War II, Macmillan published a much-loved and extremely successful series of books under the title of Highways and Byways. In them, the authors took readers on a delightful guided tour of the country, county by county, pointing out places of interest, key historical events, and local lore and legend. Now, this reissue—in one beautifully designed volume—of a selection of those highways and byways affords contemporary readers both a charming period piece and a wonderful glimpse of the very best of Britain.
