This book is the armchair archaeologist's dream! It's written in an enthusiastic, easy to understand voice that brings to life British Archaeological finds from across the ages. I added many must-see places to my travel list after reading, and look forward to finding out more. It feels appropriate for adults and teens with an interest in Britain and archaeology.

A whistle-stop tour of some of Britain's archaeological artefacts and sites. It's not all really "secret", since stuff like the Red Lady of Paviland Cave (not at all secret) and Stonehenge are included.
Still, fun read and lovely full-colour photographs. There were a few sites I didn't know about.

This is an interesting travel guide through archaeological in Britain. The text is well written and informative. There are lots of wonderful illustrations. I learned a lot about early British History reading this book. I enjoyed my arm chair travels.

If you have a young reader who is interested in history, this is a great book for them! I read this aloud with my boys, and we all enjoyed it! Great pictures, engaging, and the flow of the book keeps the reader engaged!
Discover more of Britain's treasures in this delightful read!

Where my ancient British history nerds at? You want this book- it tells of ancient British artifacts, sites, treasures, and more, with tons of photos to illustrate what's being talked about. The locations are arranged geographically, starting in the North and working around clockwise to come back around to the top again, with a handy map at the beginning with all the locations marked, plus a timeline to help us pin down when things took place. The text is written in an engaging way, that relays the information in a way that's fun and interesting without feeling dry. A great book to snuggle up with on a cold afternoon!

An excellent book for an armchair travel, perfect for these times when we cannot travel.
I loved the amazing photos and discovered a lot of unknown to me places,. They are well described and I loved the style of writing.
An excellent book that made me wish to see these places in person.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
