Over 20 mindful journeys across England, Scotland and Wales to inspire a deeper connection with their people and landscapes.Put down your phone, open your eyes and immerse yourself in your surroundings. The way to discover Britain is not through packed schedules and perfect Instagram posts; this is a book about traveling for those of us who’d rather take our time, focusing on authentic approaches to popular British destinations. From swimming in Snowdonia (Eryri) to walking Hadrian's Wall, eating Pembrokeshire's wild food to soaking up the history of Skye, travel is so much more than ticking off landmarks or filling an Instagram grid. Don't go far, go slow.
