Observant Walker
About This Book
On a walk through the countryside or a city, we pass through landscapes full of natural beauty and curiosities, some visible and some hidden. Most of us admire the view or idly wonder what a flower is called, but we rarely know enough to engage fully with what is around us. When we do, our sense of place grows, our understanding deepens, and even an ordinary stroll turns out to be rich. John Wright has spent decades leading walks around Britain. He is an expert forager who teaches people to identify the edible species growing all around, and he also explains the natural history, stories and science behind the places he takes them. In this book he guides the reader on eight walks, through leafy forests, wild coastlines, city pavements, fields and rolling hills. Each shows what can be found on a walk across any kind of British terrain and how to observe it and understand it for yourself. The book is illustrated and includes suggested routes. Its aim is to help readers look at the world around them differently, so that no walk feels the same afterwards.
