جزییات کتاب
Roman roads have been in existence in this country for over 2,000 years and thirty years is a very small part of this great span. Although the travels described in this book actually took place over thirty years ago, Mr. Boumphrey decided that he would leave his book as it was first published.
The great spread in housing that has occurred during this period has inevitably pushed the fringes of the towns along the Roman roads a few miles further out, but great stretches of the ancient roads are much as they were, often remote from modern traffic. Badbury Rings still remain inviolate, and Icknield Way still winds along unspoiled by the spread of Luton and Dunstable.
If you are a walker, a cyclist, a country lover, or just an "armchair traveller", you will not fail to enjoy this charming book in which the author describes innumerable pleasant rambles along the 1,500 miles of Roman roads in England and Wales.
