The first complete history of Britain’s mountains, capturing their beauty, tragedy and the pivotal role of these dramatic landscapes in the nation’s past and future‘A definitive history of our rocky isles from the most magisterial and far-seeing perspective.Every page holds a fascinating nugget’ GAIA VINCE, author of Nomad CenturyBritain’s mountains are our grandest and wildest places, their vast openness providing inspiration and escape.But they are now so revered that we overlook the many peoples who long inhabited them and the dramatic history of plunder and dispossession that explains how strangely empty these regions have become.

And yet by the time Romantic poets ‘discovered’ the beauty of these places, the land itself had been denuded by clearances, famine and the needs of sheep and landowners.
