The Footpath Way in North Gloucestershire

A beautifully written tour around north Gloucestershire illustrated with charming line drawings and colour photographs.

'All this morning I spent on Saintbury Hill.' Originally published in 1924, this is a delightful exploration of north Gloucestershire by way of its many footpaths. The author, the wonderfully named Algernon Gissing, passes through towns and villages, over rivers and across fields, commenting on the history of buildings, recounting conversations with people he meets and observing animals and birdsong particular to the area. As he reflects on the various villages and landmarks in the area, Gissing paints a picture of this very English landscape. Recounting village life with fondness, he captures the spirit of the county's people and their day-to-day errands. As well as illustrating the heart of the county, Gissing describes the individuality of the places he passes through. From the Stonesfield slates of Guiting to the lonely rolling uplands around Birdlip, he recounts a striking land of contrasts.
