In The Icknield Way, originally published in 1913, Edward Thomas walks one of the great ancient footpaths of England.
Running from Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire to Suffolk, the Icknield Way has a claim to be one of Britain’s oldest roads. In startling and evocative prose, Thomas recounts the history of the path through the ages, telling us how it was established and who used it and so taking us on a journey through time and place.
