After a turbulent year for herself and her husband, Moth, Raynor Winn embarks on the Coast to Coast Path in winter, unexpectedly alone. Despite 45 years of walking together, setbacks in Moth’s health have led him to see his decline as
inevitable, which Raynor refuses to accept. Feeling trapped, she is drawn north, like a migratory bird, seeking the peace and hope that walking brings her. Navigating harsh weather and tangled emotions, Raynor reflects on the mountains they’ve climbed. Her journey becomes a meditation on our connection to the land and its power to help us remember, rebuild, and reclaim what is lost.

Raynor Winn is the internationally bestselling author of The Salt Path, The Wild Silence and Landlines. Her books have sold over 2 million copies in English and have been translated into over 25 languages. The Salt Path won the Royal Society of Literature’s inaugural Christopher Bland Prize and was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award and the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. The Wild Silence was also shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize. In 2024, the Sunday Times listed The Salt Path as one of the top 100 books of the past 50 years. It has now been adapted into a major film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs and screened in cinemas in the UK and overseas.

Raynor is a regular long-distance walker and writes about nature, homelessness and our relationship to the land. She lives in Cornwall with husband Moth. On Winter Hill is her fourth book.
