A Year on the Fosse by Rick Thompson

This delightful book follows the 230 miles of the Fosse Way that spears straight through the heart of England. It tells the stories of the towns and cities that grew up along the route, and the key episodes that took place along the Roman road and changed English history. It also describes the wildlife to be found in reserves, green spaces, and the open countryside month by month as the seasons unfold. From the flatlands of Lincolnshire, through the East Midlands Wolds and Warwickshire to the Cotswolds and the sumptuous West Country, ‘A Year on the Fosse’ is full of fascinating information, folklore, bird identification and some unexpected tales.
