Paperback. Condition: New. In 2013 a group of writers and poets set up The Clearing, an online journal for new writing about nature and place by both new and established writers. The aim was to create a dedicated space for writers to explore and celebrate landscapes, finding distinctive and sometimes startling visions of place:…rural, urban, suburban, industrial, post-industrial, fantastical and natural.Since then The Clearing has grown an international audience, garnered enthusiastic reviews, supported writing projects and has helped emerging writers at the beginning of their careers. In Going to Ground is some of the best and most distinctive writing from The Clearing's archive of hundreds of essays and poetry. Its themes are natural, political, historical, archaeological, ecological, scientific, personal, urgent and true, from more than thirty extraordinary writers. Contributions from: Louisa Adjoa Parker, Eleanor Anstruther, Chris Baker, David Hinchliffe Bradford, The Byker Wall Poets and Lee Mattinson, Nancy Campbell, Tim Dee, Alex Diggins, Kerri ni Dochartaigh, Raine Geoghegan, Tim Hannigan, Meriel Harrison, David Higgins, Jane Hughes, Jeremy Hughes, Kathleen Jamie, Jennifer Jones, Amina Khan, Ann Lingard, Mary Malyon, Martin Maudsley, Graham Mort, JC Niala, Baz Nichols, Christina Riley, Jack Thacker, Susannah Walker, Elspeth Wilson, Nic Wilson, Alex Woodcock.

Paperback. Condition: New. Real Dorset is a personal, detailed, discursive, humorous and idiosyncratic look at Dorset. The county is famous for its spectacular coastline, for its historic towns, for its eco-foodie reputation, for Hardy and Fowles. But there's much more behind the tourist-friendly façade - subversion, rebellion a…nd revolt, wealth and poverty, ghost stories and rich folklore. Dorset is home to the largest, but now lost, Neolithic earthwork in Britain. Woolcott criss-crosses the county, making connections, uncovering the hidden and the forgotten. Stone circles and ancient hillforts contrast with Victorian pleasure gardens and nightlife in Bournemouth. Trade unionism originating from Tolpuddle, the model village of Milton Abbas, vie for the reader's attention with the importance of Dorset for writers like William Barnes, TE Lawrence, Hardy, Fowles and Sylvia Townsend Warner and artists John Piper, Rena Gardiner and Elisabeth Frink. Tombstoning at Lulworth, exploring Chesil Beach and the Fleet, boat trips along the coast, the modern pagan celebration of the Filly-Loo: Real Dorset covers all aspects of life past and present in this richly historical and much-visited edge of south west England.

Hardback. Condition: New. 'A fascinating detective story told with humour and joy that unravels the threads of history and legend to reveal the strange stories of Britain's hill figures.' - Fiona Roberston, author of Stone LandsA journey through Britain's chalklands, uncovering the stories, symbolism and shifting meanings of the… mysterious figures carved into our hills. 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. In The Tattooed Hills, writer Jon Woolcott travels to these remarkable sites, exploring their history and the deep cultural roots that link landscape to identity. Part travelogue, part cultural history, Woolcott examines how these figures - sometimes ancient, sometimes surprisingly recent - reflect our collective imagination, and how their interpretations have changed over time. Once emblems of pride or remembrance, they have become mirrors of our shifting values and contradictions. From Iron Age hillforts to modern regimental carvings, The Tattooed Hills brings together archaeology, folklore, art, literature and music to reveal the evolving story of Britain's chalk landscapes and the people who shaped them.Beautifully written and steeped in a sense of place, Woolcott visits many of England's Chalk figures, delving into their mysteries, including The Westbury White Horse, the Long Man of Wilmington, The Cerne Abbas Giant and the Uffington White Horse.A captivating exploration of landscape, culture and belonging, The Tattooed Hills reveals how the chalk beneath our feet connects us to our past and continues to shape who we are today. 'Woolcott is the most splendid company on this intoxicating, immaculately researched tour of chalky weirdness. He has a keen ear for the murmuring voice of Deep England, and the wisdom to know that the more one knows about a place or a person, the more profound the mystery.' - Charles Foster, author of The Edges of the World, Being Human and Being A Beast.
