A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Here the renowned expert on sacred places, John Michell, takes us on an unforgettable journey to ruined abbeys and cathedrals, pagan sites and megalithic temples, shrines of saints and visionaries, holy wells, island sanctuaries and to a host of other places where peace and sanctity are almost tangible. Some of them are famous, others quiet and secluded, but all are centres of spiritual energy and renewal. With this guidebook, travellers can trace ancient patterns in the landscape and discover the wisdom of centuries of history and tradition in England's green and pleasant land. This classic bestselling guidebook is now revised and substantially updated to make a completely new edition. In the same series as The Traveller's Guide to Sacred Ireland, it is an endlessly delightful companion for the 21st century pilgrim.

Biographie de l'auteur

John Michell was recognised as the world authority on ancient science and religion and the symbolism of sacred landscapes. He was certainly no armchair traveller and had travelled the highways and byways of his native England mainly on foot.
