Summary
Details

""The Green Roads of England"" is an evocative and scholarly examination of the prehistoric trackways that span the southern landscape of Britain. R. Hippisley Cox meticulously traces the ancient routes that connected the great hillforts and earthworks of antiquity, proposing that these ""green roads"" formed a sophisticated and unified system of communication long before the arrival of the Romans.

Focused primarily on the vast network centered around Avebury and the iconic Ridgeway, the work combines archaeological observation with geographical survey. Readers are guided through the high ridges and downs, discovering the strategic placement of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments. Through detailed descriptions of the terrain and the relationship between various defensive sites, the book serves as both a historical record and a guide to the enduring physical legacy of early British civilization. This work remains a significant contribution to the study of the English landscape, appealing to those interested in archaeology, ancient history, and the topography of the British Isles.
