About the book
Following centuries-old routes across the country, he searches for traditional sites—from horse fairs to rural encampments—whilst exploring what these places reveal about identity, belonging and a rapidly disappearing way of life. Part travelogue, part memoir, this is an intimate portrait of Britain's most misunderstood communities, told from the inside. Rich with folklore, history and keen observation of the natural world, it challenges preconceptions whilst celebrating the enduring connection between people and place. A lyrical and deeply personal exploration of heritage, landscape and the fight to preserve both.
