This remarkable new book by Jon Fox investigates the natural and historical lines in the Lincolnshire countryside, focusing on features used or constructed as routes, banks or boundaries. It covers both natural features such as the Lincoln Edge, former coastlines and extinct Ice Age valleys, as well as man-made lines of every period of history, ranging from prehistoric trackways, Roman roads and Medieval banks, through to the drains, canals, railways and military defences of more recent centuries.
As a companion volume to Jon's The Lincolnshire Landscape, the book combines informative and accessible text with inspiring colour photographs taken specially by the author. The photographs illustrate the features and historical changes decribed in the text while also celebrating their contribution to the character, interest and beauty of Lincolnshire's varied landscape. High quality maps have also been included to show the distribution of lines in the county.

As with ‘The Lincolnshire Landscape’ before it, the author’s love of the county comes through on every page of this beautiful book. It is sure to be another firm favourite with Lincolnshire residents and visitors alike.

An excellent second book from Jon, the perfect companion to his first book ‘The Lincolnshire Landscape’. Very informative and well researched, beautifully produced with amazing photography. A fascinating book that I would recommend to anyone interested in the geological and historical landscape of Lincolnshire.
