Summary

History is never more alive than when you're walking through it. The smell of earth long-trodden by pilgrims; mountain vistas unchanged for millennia; the feel of weathered wall, built centuries befor. To hike amid such echoes of the past is as close as you'll come to travelling back in time. This book will lead you on a grand tour of world events, from prehistory to the 21st century. Meandering along 500 historically resonant trails, 'A History of the World in 500 Walks' is learned but light-footed and never pedestrian, combining inspirational and knowledgable commentary with practical detail.
