The Old Straight Track

by Alfred Watkins

Book Overview

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.

Watkins's ideas have intrigued and inspired generations...

An Oldie But Goodie

The Old Straight Track: The Classic Book on Ley Lines Alfred Watkins was the first man to map, photograph and actually walk the ley lines of England. This book explains what they are and where they are. Alfred Watkins' work and this book are sourced in Phil Rickman's novel Remains of an Altar, which takes place in England. The plot revolves around ley lines. Fascinating reading!
