Whether you’re interested in the the history of the British countryside or geographic occultism, the archaeology of pre-Roman Britain, British folklore, or you simply enjoy hillwalking in the United Kingdom, you’ve likely heard “ley lines” mentioned by someone or come across the term somewhere in your reading.
Introduced as a theory by Alfred Watkins in his 1925 book The Old Straight Track, this idea of ancient trackways established by early Britons that linked Neolithic stone circles, burial mounds, and other sites of significance has since both enthralled and perplexed a wide range of curious enquirers, ranging from those seeking to prove their existence, disprove it, or simply learn more about the idea of an interesting possibility.
This past year, Head of Zeus Press published a new edition of this classic book with an introduction Robert Macfarlane in the UK, and as of just recently it has also become available to readers outside the UK as well.
