Description
Walking through ancient Welsh forests, Yeomans reflects on our relationship to the woods.
When and how did humans lose their connection with nature—and how do we find it again? In Return to My Trees, Matthew Yeomans seeks to answer these questions as he walks more than 300 miles through the ancient and modern forests of Wales. Weaving history and folklore together with tales of industrial progress and decay, Yeomans immerses himself in the homes of ancient Druids, early Celtic saints, Norman lords, and early miners.
As Yeomans walks, he reflects on the woodlands’ uncertain future and how humans might make peace with the natural world.

Its appeal stretches from avid walkers to those who prefer to explore from the comfort of their homes.
