As interest grows in Britain's Celtic heritage, this book provides a guide to the places associated with its teachers and missionaries - the Celtic saints. It contains eight tours, each based upon the movements of specific individuals and their followers. They include Ninian, Kentigern, Columba, Kenneth, Adomnan, Cuthbert, Aidan and Hilda. Illustrated with maps and photographs, the book aims to help the traveller to understand the way in which Celtic saints turned their backs on the dark centuries that preceded their emergence, bringing the light of learning and of faith to the barbarous tribes of England and Scotland.

The drovers' roads of Wales

Europe

Wildwood House

In a bygone age when few people travelled far from their homes and almost any journey was an adventure the drovers regularly made the long and perilous trip from the Scottish highlands and islands or from the Welsh mountains to the south-east of England. They brought vast herds of cattle from the hill farms of the north and west to the markets of London and other towns. Sheep, pigs, geese and turkeys were also driven to the towns. In this book Shirley Toulson tells of these hardworking and resourceful men and of the dangers and hardships they faced. She describes the animals they drove and the way they conducted their business, and she outlines some of the routes they followed, as well as indicating features of the countryside which may reveal the passage of drovers through an area in times past. ABOUTH THE AUTHORShirley Toulson has been writing books on the social history of the countryside since 1974 and is a leading authority on ancient tracks and drove roads.

Celebrate a full year's worth of everything Celtic, from the lives of the Celtic saints to annual festivals and traditional tales handed down through generations uncounted. The rich essence of Celtic spirituality is revealed through an illustrated treasury of traditional prayers, accompanied by suggested pilgrimages to Celtic shrines and historic sites throughout the British isles, one for each month of the year. The pilgrimages are described in vivid detail, with maps, walking directions and colorful descriptions of what you'll see along the route. And because not everyone can visit these sites in person, the journeys need not be undertaken in the physical sense, but rather they may be used as launching pads for your own spiritual journeys of discovery.
