Description

The Lost Paths: A History of How We Walk From Here To There by Jack Cornish is a captivating exploration of Britain’s ancient pathways, longlisted for the prestigious Nature Writing, The Wainwright Prize 2024. This remarkable book transforms an ordinary walk into an extraordinary journey through time, inviting readers to uncover the hidden stories embedded within our landscapes.

Cornish masterfully intertwines travel lore, historical insights, and personal anecdotes, creating a rich tapestry that reveals how our ancestors shaped the very paths we traverse today. With each turn of the page, you will discover:

  • Insightful narratives of Iron Age tracks and covert wartime routes
  • Engaging personal stories that connect you deeply to the land
  • A call to action for the preservation of England and Wales’ invaluable ancient trail network

Acclaimed by The Times as “a nostalgic meander through England and Wales' travel history,” this book captures the essence of the routes that form our modern path network. Cornish’s dedication to the Ramblers Association underscores his commitment to documenting these forgotten routes for future generations.

With endorsements from notable figures like Charles Foster, who describes it as "marvellous," and Walk Magazine, which hails it as "a rallying cry to reclaim lost routes," The Lost Paths is not just a book; it is a vital chronicle of our shared history. Embark on this enchanting journey and rediscover the paths that connect us all.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
