This book will be an exploration and celebration of the great treasures of Britain.

It will look at the nature of the British identity and how it varies through the regions, and how it is reflected in buildings, landscapes and all manner of cultural creations.

The treasures will cover archeological sites, Roman and Medieval Britain, the making of the landscape, gardens, places of worship, castles, historical and contemporary buildings, dockyards, towns, country houses, museums and libraries, artefacts, artistic achievements, canals, railways and battlefields.

Dan's knowledgeable but maverick approach to the subject will make riveting reading.
