Laurence Mitchell uncovers the stories that flint has to tell us in this celebratory journey through the natural and cultural history of the stone. The East of England is characterised by the flint that makes up its world-famous architecture, beaches and landscape. The stone is so ubiquitous, in fact, that it can be easy to overlook how remarkable it is. Here, long time Norfolk resident Laurence Mitchell uncovers its extraordinary history and significance for East Anglia and beyond. Flint Country takes us on a tour around the flint regions of England, documenting how flint was formed, what we can learn from fossil records, and how flint has been used through millennia: from our prehistoric ancestors, to the Romans building roads and forts, and through to the present day. Whether it is thanks to the seismic geological events that have shaped our landscape, the stone we rely on for our homes, or simply the joy of picking up pebbles on the beach, this book shows how flint continues to be a touchstone in our lives.

Guidebook to 40 easy to moderate walks in the English county of Norfolk. Circular routes of 4 to 12 miles show off the area's surprisingly varied landscape: the Broads, Brecks and Fens and coastal dunes, salt marsh and tidal creeks. Also includes information on Norfolk's rich history and unique plants and wildlife.

From Great Yarmouth to Aberystwyth, Westering is a coast-to-coast journey crossing the Fens, Leicester, the Black Country and central Wales. It connects landscape, place and memory to evoke a narrative unravelling the deep topography, and following a westerly route that runs against the grain of the land, its geology, culture and historical bedrock. With the industrial Midlands sandwiched between bucolic landscapes in East Anglia and Wales, here we explore places too often overlooked. Along the way we encounter deserted medieval villages, battlefield sites, the ghosts of Roman soldiers, valleys drowned for reservoirs, ancient forests, John Clare's beloved fields, and the urban edgelands. Notions of home and belonging, landscapes of loss and absence, birds and the resilience of nature, the psychology of walking, and the psychogeography of liminal places all frame the story.
