Walks Through
History: Kent
John Wilks
Walks Through History: Kent is a celebration of
the beauty and poetry of the county. Each walk in
this book has been chosen not only because it is
a pleasant walk in its own right, but also because
it goes past sites which reveal the rich and varied
history of the county.
Each walk is arranged chronologically, and has a
major historical theme. Together they take the walker
through 4,000 years of Kentish history. The introduction
shows how each of the walks fits into the overall
history of the county, a history that is very much
shaped by Kent’s proximity to Europe. For through
migration, trade and invasion, Kent has had close
contact with the continent throughout its history.
As with all walking books detailed directions are
given, including parking convenient stopping or resting
places, and suggested diversions or alternatives.
The book is sure to appeal to locals and tourist
alike.
