The First World War claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its legacy continues to be remembered today. Great War Britain: West Sussex offers an intimate portrayal of the county and its people living in the shadow of the 'war to end all wars`.

This book explores the fascinating history of Sussex's remarkable literary legacy - as well as being a guide to the locations where that legacy can still be found.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the South Downs, this four-day walk links medieval churches in a crescent-shaped route from Portchester to Chichester. Here the genesis of a modern pilgrim route was formed - Mary's Crescent. Each day ends near a country pub, with plenty of refreshment stops in between.

A gentle and very personal account of the author's exploration, a few days at a time over several years, of the English and Welsh countryside.
