Walking the Old Way between chalk and sea with Gail Simmons

Described as England’s Camino, the Old Way is a long-distance footpath that carves through one of the nation’s most iconic landscapes – one that links prehistoric earthworks, abandoned monasteries, Saxon churches, ruined castles and historic seaports. Over four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walks the Old Way to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today.
