Old stones and older oaks, and the events they watched. Mary Roberts wanders among Britain's ruins and ancient trees, using each as a doorway into the history that happened around it: abbeys and castles, the yew in the churchyard, the forest that outlived the kings. You will discover a gentle, learned essayist who found the past still standing in the landscape. History you can lean against. Press play and go for a walk.
