Embark on an extraordinary odyssey with Raynor and Moth as they traverse a staggering 1000 miles from Scotland to the South West Coast Path. This captivating narrative, penned by the acclaimed author of The Salt Path and The Wild Silence, offers a poignant exploration of Britain's terrain and its inhabitants.
In the face of Moth's deteriorating health, Raynor turns to the curative power of walking. The intrepid pair set out on the formidable Cape Wrath Trail, braving over 200 miles of Scotland's most challenging and secluded landscapes. As they confront an uncertain future, they cling to the hope that the miraculous healing they once experienced might repeat itself.
From the rugged glens of Scotland to the familiar coastline of the South West, this gripping account serves as both a love letter to the British countryside and a testament to human resilience. Raynor and Moth's journey, which began in trepidation, evolves into a profound meditation on hope, healing, and the indomitable spirit of those who find solace in the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.
Winn's masterful prose paints a vivid portrait of a nation's diverse landscapes, while simultaneously shedding light on the threats facing our natural world. This Sunday Times bestseller is a must-read for anyone who has ever found solace in nature or marvelled at the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
