England's heritage by Derry Brabbs( Book )

6 editions published between 2001 and 2003 in English and Undetermined and held by 249 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"England's rich, often turbulent history has left a powerful legacy in its buildings and monuments, pageantry and landscape. This new, imaginative exploration of our heritage shows how it can speak of major events and everyday life, gentle evolution and dramatic change. Drawing upon both famous and lesser-known locations, the book celebrates the key themes that have shaped England's fortunes - invasion and conquest, education and religious belief, travel and trade."--BOOK JACKET

The roads to Santiago : the medieval pilgrim routes through France and Spain to Santiago de Compostela by Derry Brabbs( Book )

9 editions published between 2007 and 2013 in English and held by 179 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Brabbs traces the four main routes within France leading to Santiago de Compostella, the third most important pilgrimage destination for medieval travelers. His photographs of the journeys are breathtaking, showing the tiny towns and grand cathedrals where the pilgrims took, and still take, shelter. In many towns of France and Spain the scallop symbol of St. James can still be found at wayside inns and hostels. Brabbs has written an informative and lively text to accompany his photos. This not only gives the background of the pilgrimage sites and the purpose behind the journey, but also describes the personal reactions of one who followed the same path as thousands over the centuries. Today there are more than religious reasons for making a pilgrimage to Compostella, but, as Brabbs shows so beautifully, anyone who follows the old roads there cannot avoid being affected by the journey

Hadrian's Wall by Derry Brabbs( Book )

2 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 178 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Hadrian's Wall extended for some 120 kilometers across the Tyne-Solway isthmus, and was built on the orders of the Emperor Hadrian in c. AD 122 to be a permanent, fixed frontier to mark the northern boundary of the Roman province of Britannia. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it now forms the basis of a National Trail long-distance footpath." "The Wall was just one component of a complex military zone which also comprised turrets, milecastles, earthworks, roads and supporting forts. Housesteads, Chesters and Birdoswald were three such garrisons: their ruined sites, now in the care of English Heritage, have been transformed into major visitor centres with museums and other educational resources."--BOOK JACKET

Wainwright walks by Julia Bradbury( Book )

2 editions published in 2012 in English and held by 116 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"The much-loved fellwalker Alfred Wainwright created one of the truly great walking challenges - to walk across the whole of England. The Coast to Coast route was AW's last great venture and has become his greatest legacy to long distance walkers - a beautifully simple proposition, linking three national parks that lie between the Irish and the North Sea - The Lake District, The Yorkshire Dales and The North Yorks Moors National Parks. Accompanying the BBC television series, this book follows Julia Bradbury as she re-traces Wainwright's grand traverse. The book collects together all six stages of the walk from the TV series, with Julia's commentary on her experience of the walk accompanied by stills, evocative landscape photography, and AW's celebrated line drawings. Julia crosses this changing landscape in sun, wind and rain, learns something of its history and meets the people that make up almost 200 miles of northern England's most glorious countryside."--Publisher's description
