Britains vast spiritual heritage will enchant anyone with a sense of the sacred. Celtic healing pools, ancient shirines, exotic saints, spectacular artworks, soaring cathedrals, mystical islands and humble rustic churches bring 2,000 years of belief vividly to life.
This app contains all 500 sacred sites listed in Nick Mayhew-Smith’s bestselling book ‘Britain’s holiest places’ which is a result of a five-year journey from Orkney to the Channel Islands. Now converted for easy use on the move.
Britains holiest places rediscovers this remarkable landscape, shaped by centuries of faith, ritual and some truly extraordinary people. Among its many unforgettable highlights:
A Celtic bathing pool still used daily after 1,300 years.
Christian paintings as old as the art in Romes Catacombs.
The room where Baptists held their first meetings.
A Roman-era mosaic of Christ.
Written with a keen eye for the surreal as well as the sacred, this book is a complete guide for modern visitors, but also as an entertaining travelogue of some truly breath-taking experiences.
