TATTOOED HILLS: JOURNEYS TO CHALK FIGURES (HB)

Across southern England and beyond, the land bears the marks of centuries - white horses, giants, crosses, badges, even a lost panda - cut into the chalk and exposed to the sky. Jon Woolcott travels to these remarkable sites, exploring their history and the deep cultural roots that link landscape to identity. From Iron Age hillforts to modern regimental carvings, this book brings together archaeology, folklore, art, literature and music to reveal the evolving story of chalk landscapes and the people who shaped them.
