Between the Chalk and the Sea - A Journey on Foot into the Past

Gail Simmons talks about her new book Between the Chalk and the Sea, which chronicles a walk along a long-forgotten pilgrimage route from Southampton to Canterbury, rediscovered on an antique map in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Over four seasons, Gail winds between chalk hills and the south coast, telling a story of kings and knights, peasants and pilgrims, of ancient folklore and enduring traditions, and revealing the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorsteps. Chaired by Gillie Revill.
