Wayfaring in Brittany

Wayfaring is a series of journeys on foot, here exploring the old routes of Brittany, discovering the movements and monuments of early occupants from the Neolithic period, through Celts and Romans, to the arrival of saints from Great Britain. These paths and trails, described with historical detail and imaginative interpretation, cover a great variety of territory, including Ouessant, the Monts d’Arrée, the Trégor, Mont Dol and the Quiberon peninsula. Islands, moors, river valleys, sacred hills and pilgrimage trails reflect the vibrancy of a landscape steeped in legends and history. This also follows the author’s deep connection with Brittany and her reflections on personal issues relating to finding one’s place in a new land.
