Summary "Highways and Byways in Surrey" by Eric Parker is a descriptive travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book explores the diverse landscapes, historical significance, and quaint towns of Surrey, primarily focusing on the main thoroughfare that traverses the region. At its heart are the narratives of the ancient Pilgrims' Way and other pathways that reflect the profound cultural heritage and natural beauty of Surrey. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the Pilgrims' Way, tracing its rich history from ancient times when it was a vital highway for traders and pilgrims alike. Parker vividly describes the diverse experiences of past travelers who journeyed along the route, blending stories and history with personal observations of the landscapes traversed. The author invites readers to understand the evolution of Surrey and encourages exploration on foot to fully appreciate its hidden wonders, while establishing a context for the chapters that follow, each focusing on different towns and sites throughout the county.
