The Green Road Into The Trees by Hugh Thomson
Walking right across England, along ancient trackways and green grass roads, Hugh explores the way the country was and the way it is today: the legends, literature and natural world that define us, and the undercurrent of regret running throughout our history;
He is an illuminating companion…frequently comic, his voice is original and engaging; proof that it is the walker, not the path, that counts* Independent *
An immensely enjoyable book: curious, articulate, intellectually playful and savagely candid. * The Spectator *
He records more than impressions: there are fascinating excursions into neglected areas of British history, and conversations with hippies, travellers and farmers, which makes Mr Thomson’s journey a joy to follow. * Country Life *
Often funny and always enlightening -- Candida Lycett Green * Countryfile *
I would love to walk with Thomson -- John Sutherland * Financial Times *
