Wheels from Ivy Cottage

Seeking out historical places of interest along roads and little lanes, through a variety of landscapes that bear the scars, marks and imprints of those that have trodden, worked and fought on the land before us. “Any excursion, whether it be by motorcycle, car, bicycle or on foot, is always better for having an object, or goal in mind. I could take no pleasure in riding around just for the sake of it." There has to be a mission. “I ride to seek out things ancient, quirky and monumental, taking in the views, and ‘reading’ the landscape, its geology and history, as I do so.” Essays with a countryside theme researched, written and read by John Dunn.
