Setting out to walk a challenging 300-mile route across the spine of Wales, Yeomans journeys through the uplands that have shaped Wales's landscape, history and identity for thousands of years. From the peaks of Bannau Brycheiniog to the wild Cambrian Mountains and the dramatic heights of Eryri, he uncovers stories of geology, myth, rebellion and scientific discovery, while reflecting on the role that upland Wales and its wealth of natural resources have played in the making of a nation and the wider world. His journey is also an exploration of his family history, his sense of belonging and a rediscovery of the importance that nature plays in his own wellbeing. Part travelogue, part cultural history and part personal quest, offers a fresh perspective on Wales's past, present and future.
