Shadowlands. A Journey Through Lost Britain

Drowned. Buried by sand. Decimated by plague. Plunged off a cliff.

Revealing the extraordinary stories of how these places met their fate – and exploring how they have left their mark on our landscape and our imagination – Shadowlands is a deeply evocative and dazzlingly original account of Britain’s past.
