Walking works in mysterious ways. It’s reckoned that the best thoughts come when the body is in motion, especially when walking. And walking has a power in forging connections between people.
We are lucky therefore to have more than 140,000 miles of footpaths in the British Isles.
Author of numerous books, walking correspondent, and travel writer, Christopher Somerville knows many of them. His latest book, The January Man, inspired by the David Goulder song of the same name, is the story of a year of walks, observing history, wildlife, landscapes, and people, throughout the British Isles.
