The Salt Path is Raynor Winn’s moving memoir of walking the 630-mile South West Coast Path with her husband, Moth. After losing their home and facing Moth’s terminal diagnosis, they trek from Somerset’s Minehead through Devon and Cornwall to Dorset’s Poole Harbour. The book blends their tale of resilience with vivid depictions of the path’s wild cliffs, sandy beaches, and quaint villages—like Exmoor’s rolling hills, Devon’s Brixham, and Dorset’s Lulworth Cove. It’s a tribute to nature’s healing power and the South West’s rugged beauty.
