The Salt Path

Book • 2018
In 'The Salt Path', Raynor Winn shares the true story of her and her husband Moth's journey.

Just days after learning that Moth was terminally ill, they lost their home and livelihood due to a legal battle.

With almost no money and no place to go, they decided to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall.

The book chronicles their struggles with homelessness, their encounters with nature and other people, and the transformative impact of their journey.

It also addresses themes of resilience, the stigma of homelessness, and the healing power of nature.

The memoir is known for its lyrical descriptions of the natural world and the deepening relationship between Raynor and Moth as they navigate their challenging circumstances.
