First published in 1925 THE OLD STRAIGHT TRACK remains the most important source for the study of ancient tracks or leys that criss-cross the British Isles- a fascinating system which was old when the Romans came to Britain.First in the Herefordshire countryside, and later throughout Britain, Alfred Watkins noticed that beacon hills, mounds, earthworks, moats and old churches built on pagan sites seemed to fall in straight lines. His investigation convinced him that Britain was covered with a vast network of straight tracks, aligned with either the sun or the path of a star.Although traces of this network can be found all over the country, the principles behind the ley system remain a mystery. Are they the legacy of a prehistoric scientific knowledge which is now all but lost? And was their purpose secular or religious?

The Ley Line Legacy brings together Alfred Watkins' two groundbreaking works, Early British Trackways and The Old Straight Track, in a single volume charting the origins of one of Britain's most enduring landscape theories.First published in 1922, Early British Trackways introduced Watkins revolutionary concept of leys , straight alignments linking prehistoric monuments, burial sites, and ancient landmarks across the British countryside. Drawing from detailed fieldwork in Herefordshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, and beyond, Watkins argued that these linear pathways once served as a form of practical navigation and sacred geography.In The Old Straight Track (1925), Watkins further developed his theory with expanded research and wider-ranging examples, offering a deeper examination of Britain s ancient landscape through both archaeological observation and folkloric tradition. His work traced the alignment of stone circles, mounds, and waypoints, proposing an interconnected web of pre-Roman routes shaped by early civilisations.Although Watkins ideas were met with scepticism by archaeologists and geographers, they ve since become foundational in the study of sacred geography, with ley lines reinterpreted in spiritual and esoteric traditions. The Ley Line Legacy presents these influential texts in one edition, offering a detailed exploration into the mystical energies and folklore of Britain s ancient paths.

Discover the original theory of ley lines, the ancient straight trackways proposed by Alfred Watkins to connect prehistoric sites, ancient monuments, and sacred landscapes across Britain.Offering a detailed account of the mysterious trackways across the British countryside, Watkins' The Old Straight Track is supported by field observations, maps, and photographs. First published in 1925, this seminal book proposes that ancient civilisations mapped these straight tracks Watkins terms as leys , and used them as practical routes for travel and communication, forming a vast network linking stones circles, mounds, and other significant sites across the landscape.Though initially met with scepticism by archaeologists and geographers, The Old Straight Track has since become a foundational text in the study of sacred geography, with ley lines reinterpreted in spiritual and esoteric traditions. Paths of the Ancients presents Watkins groundbreaking presentation of the ley line theories that continue to be embraced as a compelling interpretation of the British landscape s mystical history and lore.

Early British Trackways marks the beginning of Alfred Watkins' groundbreaking exploration into the theory of ley lines, the ancient pathways linking prehistoric monuments and sacred landmarks across the British landscape.Based on detailed fieldwork in Herefordshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, and surrounding counties, Watkins proposed that these ancient routes, which he termed leys , once served as practical trackways for early civilisations. More than simple paths, he argued, they reflected a deliberate system of navigation between sacred sites and standing stones laid out by prehistoric peoples.Although Watkins ideas were met with scepticism by archaeologists and geographers, they ve since become foundational in the study of sacred geography, with ley lines reinterpreted in spiritual and esoteric traditions. Walking the Old Ways presents Watkins first vision for ley lines, originally published in 1922. It s a pioneering work that continues to inspire a deeper appreciation of Britain s ancient landscape.

First published in 1925, THE OLD STRAIGHT TRACK described the author''s theory of ''ley lines'', pre-Roman pathways consisting of aligned stone circles and prehistoric mounds, used by our Neolithic ancestors.

The Old Straight Track was first published in 1925. It introduced the concept of 'leys' - alignments of natural and man-made features in the landscape, used by our ancient forebears to orient themselves in the world. It remains one of the most inspiring books about the British landscape and our relationship with it.
