The Old Straight Track by Alfred Watkins

This is a study of the ancient tracks or leys that criss-cross the British Isles, a system which was old when the Romans first came to Britain. This is a collection of the author's investiations of the ancient monuments, which he argues follow the paths of the planets.
** 'A remarkable book.. it will not be long before Alfred Watkins is recognised for what he was, an honest visionary who saw beyond the bounds of his time.' JOHN MITCHELL, author of THE VIEW OVER ATLANTIS
Alfred Watkins was born in Hereford in 1855 and was an enthusiastic early photographer, the inventor of much apparatus, including the pinhole camera and the Watkins exposure meter. His revelation took place when he was 65 and caused violent controversy in archeological circles.
