Description

When we go for a walk whether in the countryside or city we pass through landscapes full of natural beauty and curiosities both visible and invisible but though we might admire the view or wonder idly about the name of a flower we rarely have the knowledge to fully engage with what we see When we do our sense of place is expanded our understanding deepened and we can discover richness in even the most everyday stroll

John Wright has been leading forays around Britain for decades As an expert forager he shows people how to identify the edible species that abound but he also reveals the natural history stories and science behind our surroundings Here he takes us with him on eight walks from verdant forests to wild coastlines via city pavements fields and rolling hills he illuminates what can be found on a walk across any British terrain and how you might observe and truly understand them for yourself
