An explorer has travelled the length and breadth of Britain to photograph over 400 mysterious hidden ancient sites.
Dave Hamilton, 44, ventured across the country from the Isle of White to the Orkney archipelago to uncover ruins which have stood for up to 10,000 years.
He avoided famous and obvious sites like Stonehenge and decided to focus on little-known lost ruins.
The journey includes encounters with sacred tombs and caves, stone circles, Bronze Age brochs and Iron Age hillforts.
They are captured in his new book, Wild Ruins BC, where he retraced the footsteps of our prehistoric ancestors.
