The book explores the ancient roadway known as the Icknield Way, reflecting on its historical significance and the landscapes it traverses. Thomas delves into the origins, uses, and meanings associated with the road, weaving in personal reflections and observations on travel and nature.  At the start of the text, the author sets the stage by expressing his thoughts on roads and travel, arguing that roads were more than mere connectors between destinations; they were pathways filled with history and character. He contemplates the origins of roads, suggesting they developed from the tracks of ancient animals and the habits of early travelers. Essentially, the opening sections provide a philosophical and poetic exploration of the relationship between walkers and the roads they tread, preparing readers for a detailed examination of the Icknield Way's pathways, myths, and the varied places it connects. Through rich language and reflection, Thomas establishes a reverence for the road that invites curiosity about its exploration further along in the book.
