In this illustrated conversation with writer, walker and map addict, Mike Parker, Andrew Green takes us on a meandering route through the history of walking in Wales. The story begins in the footprints of Mesolithic people in the intertidal mud of the Severn estuary.

Along the way, we are invited to rest and spend time with some of the most interesting walkers, including Gerald of Wales, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Francis Kilvert, George Borrow, Anne Lister, Ursula Martin, Hanna Engelkamp and Delyth Jenkins.

Andrew will also introduce us to other remarkable walkers, many of them little known. Through the eyes of these walkers, we can learn much about how Welsh people lived, and how Wales was seen by people from outside.

Voices on the Path: A History of Walking in Wales is for anyone interested in walking, the social history of Wales (including traditions of pilgrimage, industrial labour, protest, language, tourism and recreation), and the history of literature in both Welsh and English, Andrew Green’s latest book, Voices on the Path: A History of Walking in Wales, will make perfect winter reading.

Not designed as an academic book, but end-notes allow readers to follow up the printed and manuscript sources used, with coloured photographs illustrating the text throughout.
