Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? Or have we tarmacked, farmed and built ourselves out of wildness?

In his vital, bewitching, inspiring classic, Robert Macfarlane sets out in search of the wildness that remains.

Such an interesting book, it’s given me lots of ideas about how to enjoy the wildness left in the UK. Quite possibly my new favourite book!

I began by being envious of the writers opportunity to explore. I ended by being in awe of and grateful to his ability to describe his experiences, terrific listen.
