Focusing on topographical alignments in the Cambridge area, this book features around 60 significant tracks identified by Alfred Watkins, a pioneer in the study of ley lines. Originally published in 1932, it is now reissued for the first time, accompanying new editions of his earlier influential works. The edition includes Watkins' original line drawings, highlighting his contributions to the understanding of landscape and historical geography. This work provides a unique insight into Watkins' exploration of the connections between ancient sites.
The book explores the fascinating relationship between ancient structures and ley lines, emphasizing how these sites are often situated directly on ley lines rather than merely adjacent to them. It highlights instances where these locations intersect with multiple leys, suggesting a purposeful repurposing of these sighting points for new functions throughout history. This investigation delves into the significance of these alignments and their impact on ancient practices and beliefs.
A beautiful new edition of a classic work of landscape history, in which Alfred Watkins introduced the idea of ancient 'ley lines' criss-crossing the English countryside.
