Walking Roman Roads in Lonsdale & the Eden Valley, by Philip Graystone
Book published by the University of Lancaster in 2002, 84 pages. Paperback (N8281X1)
From the rear side cover: Walking Roman Roads in Lonsdale and the Eden Valley is the fourth and final volume of Philip Graystone's exploration of Roman roads in north-west England; it brings to a conclusion his account of the great Roman military highway from Chester (the base of Legion XX) to Hadrian's Wall. The author provides an invaluable guide to tracing this ancient route along its final, and arguably most interesting, section, through the dramatic scenery of the Tebay Gorge and over the fells around Crosby Ravensworth. Considerable stretches of this road are visible as earth works, and some parts remain metalled roads still in use today. Major Roman sites, such as Low Borrow Bridge, Brougham and Old Penrith, are linked by it.
Walking Roman Roads in Lonsdale and the Eden Valley contains 16 sketch maps and 48 photographs, which show the route and highlight to the walker what may be seen along the way. The text supplies directions and useful notes on access, in addition to fascinating historical background. It provides a fitting climax to Philip Graystone's excellent series of Guides, just as Roman Carlisle - fort, town and civitas-capital - emerges as a fitting destination for the road itself.
The condition of the book is generally excellent. The covers are clean and bright, the spine is tight and intact, and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound.
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
