For Ben Pering, the vista before him has been a constant companion throughout his life—a tantalising glimpse of another realm just beyond reach. Embarking on an ambitious trek from South Devon to the North Devon coast, Ben aims to traverse the rugged tors of Dartmoor and the picturesque valleys leading to Exmoor's windswept heights. His goal? To recapture the freedom he once found in the landscapes of his youth.

The Two Moors Way, a 100-mile footpath through breathtaking countryside, becomes Ben's chosen route. His initial plan—to complete the journey in a mere four days with only a rucksack—proves overly optimistic. Yet, this initial setback marks the beginning of a remarkable 15-year relationship with the upland terrain, evolving into a profound quest for self-discovery and a slower pace of life amidst England's wild moorlands.

One Moor Time is a captivating and uplifting chronicle of Ben's misadventures, his deep connection with nature, and his journey of self-realisation along the footpaths of Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks. Readers have praised this charming ode to Devon for its beautiful landscape descriptions, amusing anecdotes, and heartwarming tale of personal growth. A delightful read that leaves one feeling refreshed and inspired, it's the perfect companion for a cosy Sunday afternoon.

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.’
