What you need to know before your trail
In Underland, Robert Macfarlane takes us on a journey into the worlds beneath our feet.

Travel Guide
BookTrail your way underground a city
Now this is a unique way to get under the skin of a place – go underground!
UK – Mendips and Cheddar Gorge
Deep limestone ravine with hiking trails, viewpoints & underground stalactite/stalagmite caves.
France
Paris – the most amazing and fascinating way to see the city of lights, is ironically in almost complete darkness. The Catacombs of Paris
is an lluminated labyrinth in former limestone mine with millions of ghoulishly arranged skeletons.
Norway
The website for The Lofoten islands best sums up the majestic nature of this place; “This rare wilderness outpost offers an untrammelled landscape of majestic mountains, deep fjords, squawking seabird colonies and long, surf-swept beaches.”
Greenland
Then there’s Greenland as featured in the chapter “Blue in Time” and the Knud Rasmussen Gletscher – The glacier of all glaciers
