The defeat of the Spanish Armada four hundred years ago (1987) was one of the important landmarks of history and helped to shape the world we live in today.It created a rich crop of legends and its mark can be found still in places all over the British Isles.A journey in search of the sites,relics and remains which tell the story of the defeat of the Spanish Armada 400 years ago.This book reconstructs the story by taking the reader on an Armada Trail round the coastline and to many places inland. Where was the Armada sighted? From which clifftops could you have seen the fighting? Did Drake really play bowls and if so where? How did they operate the nationwide network of warning beacons? Is it true that Queen Elizabeth addressed her troops at Tilbury? Where can you find the Captain of the London militia in his tent and the barn they kept the prisoners in? Were there really hoards of Spanish gold in the wrecked ships and is there any left to see? Which street is said to be haunted by an Armada ghost? These are just some of the fascinating questions the author answers.It is a book for those who enjoy expeditions with a point of interest,either by car or combined with a walk. Equally it will appeal to those who like an armchair journey.There have been many books about the Armada,but this is the first to explore the events from a landsman's eye view and to gather together a guide to what is left behind for all to see.This edition is no longer in print as the publisher ceased trading mid to late 1980's.
