The true story of a couple who lost everything and embarked on a transformative journey walking the South West Coast Path in England

Just days after Raynor Winn learns that Moth, her husband of thirty-two years, is terminally ill, their house and farm are taken away, along with their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, through Devon and Cornwall.

Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea, and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter, and every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable and life-affirming journey. Powerfully written and unflinchingly honest, The Salt Path is ultimately a portrayal of home—how it can be lost, rebuilt, and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

A cute story of making the most with the hand you are dealt

Raynor and her husband’s long walk following a business deal gone sour, provided plenty of great tails and laughs. I am very curious of how they could have lost all that they did when it seems like they were duped. Loved the premise but truthfully would have preferred a different narration. Personal opinion entirely.

Moving

A very moving account of the author’s journey to awakening.
I loved her narration. Loved all of it!

Making the best of hard times .

Sweet story through hardship . Loved her voice and visuals on the salt path. Inspiring memoir.

Moving love story

Enjoyed the story very much. Fav part was the descripción of salty blackberries, dolphins and silver night time sea. Its,a story about the sanity in the insanity, the agency of walking and healing power of nature and above all love.

Hiking tale about “old people”

Thoughtfully crafted tale of hardship and courage. Stark and impossible to ignore statistics draw attention to a growing homelessness issues. Age and illness. Personal details of pain and joy. Loved every word.

Authentic

Contrary to other reviews, I thought the author’s narration and pace lent an air of authenticity. I was spellbound by the story.

Amazing and inspirational

The Salt Path is a true story of life, and the incredible high points and devastating low points that can happen to regular people. It the humor woven through the story that makes the circumstances bearable. I loved the author reading the story-no one else could read it like the person who lived it. It is a truly enriching story of hope.

Grateful

I’m so glad that someone told me about this book. Much like the Salt Path, It left me in a better place than when I began.

A Gripping Memoir

The Salt Path, by Raynor Winn, was an excellent book. I was fascinated from the very beginning, and found it difficult to stop listening to it. Ms. Winn told her story in a wonderful performance; there were dramatic moments, marvelous descriptions, history and geography lessons, and many human and humorous passages. I am amazed by this memoir, and would recommend it to everyone.
