Following the chronological journey of the author through megalithic Britain, this book provides a collection of writing, drawings, and photographs that take readers on a journey through the eyes of folk artist and tattooer Alex Payne.
By structuring the book after the author’s own experiences of the landscape and its contents, Payne provides a unique contemporary account of a passion for ancient Britain that has been spreading in recent years. This book is an artefact in itself, documenting the profound impact that megaliths continue to have on individuals and communities. The work done by the author not only in recording and observing, but in contributing to the conservation of landmarks such as the Uffington White Horse provides a tangible example of how these features of the landscape are an active part of modern Britain as opposed to passive relics of the past.
