In 1675 John Ogilby, a cartographic publisher, mapped for the very first time the highways of England and Wales. Paul White has discovered that in the West Country most of this ancient
pre-turnpike road system has, amazingly, survived - as lanes, footpaths and other rights of way. This book contains Ogilby's original maps (approx. 800 miles of roads in Somerset, Dorset,
Devon and Cornwall) and, for Devon and Cornwall, provides an analysis of the routes as they appear in OS maps and on the ground. Essential for local historians, map enthusiasts and anyone
interested in history who wishes to explore these 'roads that time forgot'.
