About the book
Drawing on decades of experience living in isolated places, he explores what it means to seek out true wilderness in a crowded island nation and why these last fragments of untamed land matter so profoundly. From windswept coastlines to ancient forests, Ansell charts both physical journeys and deeper meditations on solitude, belonging, and our fundamental need for wild places. His writing combines lyrical observation with honest reflection, capturing the raw beauty of nature whilst questioning our relationship with the land and what we stand to lose as wilderness diminishes. A compelling read for anyone who has felt the pull of remote places and understands that true wildness exists as much in the mind as in the landscape.
