艺术家菲利普·休斯受到地图，航空照片和电子测量技术的启发，标记了11条标志性的步道，从苏格兰的Allt Coire Pheiginn到康沃尔的Zennor Head，包括新石器时代的定居点，如奥克尼的Maes Howe，巨石阵，约克郡的三峰，或特别神秘的Silbury Hill，欧洲最古老最高的人工土墩，令人惊叹不已。

In over 140 superbly reproduced artworks, the artist Philip Hughes records eleven iconic walks across the length and breadth of Britain, from Allt Coire Pheiginn in Scotland to Zennor Head in Cornwall. Inspired and informed by maps, aerial photographs and electronic survey techniques, Hughes’s clean, spacious artworks, with their arresting blocks of colour, make contemporary some of the most ancient and formidable landmarks of the British Isles. Hughes’s artworks – often incorporating written notes, archaeological scans and contour maps – feature important heritage sites, including Neolithic settlements such as Maes Howe in Orkney, standing stones such as Stonehenge, the Three Peaks in Yorkshire, or places of particular mystery and beauty such as Silbury Hill, the oldest and tallest artificial mound in Europe. Notebook spreads contain exquisite drawings and paintings made on the spot and vivid extracts from Hughes’s diaries and notes, help to evoke the mood and atmosphere of the awe-inspiring landscapes.
