The Great North Road – running from London to Edinburgh – is a 400-mile multiplicity of ancient trackway that has run like a backbone through Britain for the last 2,000 years. In this profoundly personal book, Rob Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. It’s an unforgettable exploration of Britain’s great highway and a story of the roads that lead us to where we find ourselves.
