Description
Deep Country: Five Years in the Welsh Hills is a deeply personal account of one man's five-year experiment in solitude. Living alone in a remote hillside cottage, Neil Ansell had no transport, no phone, and was often cut off from the outside world for weeks at a time. This book is a story about what it means to live in such isolation, and how that shaped his relationship with the natural world. It's also a tale of the hidden places he came to call home, and the wild creatures that became his companions. Through his experiences, Ansell reveals the beauty and challenges of living off the grid, and the ways in which solitude can both enrich and isolate us.
