A book for anyone who can’t resist stopping to look at a plant. Join naturalist John Wright on eight walks across Britain, exploring wild food, wildlife and the stories hidden in our everyday surroundings.
There’s plenty to see on a walk when you know where to look.
In The Observant Walker, naturalist and forager John Wright takes us on eight walks across Britain, from woodlands and coastlines to fields, hills and city streets. Along the way, he explores edible plants, natural history and the little details we so often walk straight past.
Combining practical knowledge with humour and storytelling, John encourages us to slow down, ask questions and take a closer look at what’s growing around us. Illustrations and suggested routes offer inspiration for your own outings, whether you’re heading somewhere new or following a familiar path.
A thoughtful gift for walkers, budding foragers and nature lovers, especially those who always return from a stroll with a photograph of something they’d like to identify.
