The Making of the British Landscape
by Nicholas Crane, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, £20
For the first time in over a century, visitors can now see Stonehenge in its Stone Age, grassland setting. In 2013, the road beside the stones, the A344, was ripped out, as were the neighbouring car park and visitor facilities. Only now has the footprint of the old road completely grassed over. Today, poppies grow where lorries once thundered yards from the Heel Stone, the lone standing stone that marks the entrance way to the ancient circle.
