Britain and Ireland are home to thousands of spiritual and legendary sites. From well-known places of magic and intrigue, such as Stonehenge and Newgrange Abbey, to obscure caves and holy wells, where fairies dwell and unexplained phenomena occur, these islands have a wealth of awe-inspiring locations. Richard Jones has traveled the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland, searching for the most mystical sites and places of secrets and magic, all of which are open to the public. He has investigated stories of Arthurian legend; examined Druid stones, Roman temples, tombs and quoits; and explored areas that are shrouded in myth and the source of ancient legend. Richard then describes these places of spiritual energy in detail and with enthusiasm. He reveals the origins of the myths and legends, tells the stories of the enigmatic characters that have been involved with them, and paints an evocative picture of these spiritual places. This captivating guide to over 100 mystical places is illustrated with a combination of dramatic, specially-commissioned photography.

There are maps of each region and all the places covered can be visited by members of the public; the address and phone numbers of each location is included within each entry.
