Description

Simon Armitage's latest travelogue takes readers on a journey along Britain's south west coast, a distance of 630 miles from the Pennine Way. In this sequel to his acclaimed Walking Home, Armitage swaps the moorland uplands of the north for the coastal fringes of Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

As he walks, Armitage performs poetry readings every night, busking his way through distant communities and tourist hot-spots. From the surreal landscapes of Minehead to the Isles of Scilly, he tackles this personal odyssey with poetic reflection and personal wit.

This book is a personal and poetic account of Armitage's travels, offering a unique perspective on the south west coast and its people.
