Britain's sacred places : a guide to ancient and modern sites that stir the soul
Symington, Martin2022
Books
Britain is packed to the gunnels with places to visit that many regard as sacred, from iconic sites such as Iona, Lindisfarne and Stonehenge to more out-of-the-way pilgrimage destinations, stone circles, holy wells and obscure corners. Then there are places that appeal to a particular following, places of philosophical or celebrity interest such as Karl Marx's tomb in Highgate cemetery, Freddie Mercury's home or, for sporting enthusiasts, Twickenham rugby stadium. This book, first published in 2011 as 'Sacred Britain', has been thoroughly revised with additional sites. Significant updates have been included, including to Stonehenge, Tintagel and Monkwearmouth-Jarrow, as well as new locations such as Goat's Hole Cave on the Gower Peninsula, Creswell Crags in Nottinghamshire, Stanton Drew in Somerset and St Nectan's Glen in Cornwall.
