Reisgids Sacred Britain - A guide to places that stir the soul | Bradt

Martin Symington gaat op zoek naar heilige plaatsen op het vasteland en op de eilanden van Groot Brittanië. 'Sacred Britain' is een verbazingwekkende en persoonlijke selectie van plaatsen die sterke emoties hebben opgewekt door de eeuwen heen. Verhalen van heiligen en martelaars staan naast die van Hindoe tempels en Tibetaanse kloosters; raadselachtige staande stenen en verafgelegen heilige eilanden staan naast het sportstadium en moderne seculiere altaren.

'A fascinating take on travel in the British Isles from a guide book publisher sacred to all travellers.'
~ Sandi Toksvig, author and TV and radio presenter

'Impeccably researched and beautifully written, this is an incredible journey across the length and breadth of the land and down through the mystical ages. A wonderful travel companion for anyone about to embark on their own pilgrimage through sacred Britain.'
~ Glasgow Herald

Britain is packed with places to visit that can be called 'sacred'. Many are tourist sites, such as Iona, Lindisfarne and Stonehenge. This book journeys from pilgrimage sites with tombs of martyrs and scenes of medieval miracles to the remote islands of Iona, Bardsey and Lindisfarne, as well as to modern Buddhist, Hindu and Islamic shrines.

They include sites of myth and legend, as well as places connected to a wide variety of religious faiths, or of cultural or political significance. Full practical details accompanying each entry are included and there is no comparable guide on the market.
