Peter Ross: Upon A White Horse: Journeys in Ancient Britain and Ireland
- Main Information
Upon A White Horse is a celebration of landscape and people – and all that is beautiful, strange and old.
The prehistoric sites of Britain and Ireland are places of wonder and wondering. On a journey from midwinter at Stonehenge to midsummer at Sycamore Gap, Peter asks what it is like to live within the great stone circle at Avebury, what rituals occurred in an Anglesey tomb and what draws volunteers to care for the Uffington White Horse – and reflects on why these structures remain important to this day.
In conversation with Matthew Kelly.
