Henge
When was Britain last truly wild… and are we part of the wilderness after all? Archaeologist Eloise Kane takes us on a 12,000-year journey through Britain’s shifting landscapes. From prehistoric forests and Roman intervention to medieval hunting grounds and modern countryside myths, she reveals how humans have always shaped-and been shaped by-the natural world.
