Postal paths span the length and breadth of Britain – from the furthermost corners of the Outer Hebrides to the isolated communities clinging to the cliffs of the Rame Peninsula in south-east Cornwall.

For over 200 years, postmen and women delivered post to homes across Britain on foot, no matter how remote.

A chance remark by a farmer about a Postman’s Path led Alan Cleaver on a quest to discover more about this network of lanes, short-cuts and footpaths.

What he found was not just beautiful scenery but an incredible, forgotten slice of social history.
