About this listen
Bring nature into your home with the uplifting true story of the couple who lost everything and embarked on a journey of salvation across the South West coastline, brought to you by Penguin.
Just days after Raynor Winn learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose 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.
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, their walk becomes a remarkable journey.
The Salt Path is an honest and life-affirming true story of coming to terms with grief and the healing power of the natural world.
Read by author Raynor Winn, this deeply felt, personal tale is a beacon of universal strength.
©2019 Raynor Winn (P)2019 Penguin AudioCritic Reviews
"A beautiful, thoughtful, lyrical story of homelessness, human strength and endurance." (Guardian)
"The landscape is magical: shape-shifting seas and smugglers' coves; myriads of sea birds and mauve skies. It's a tale of triumph: of hope over despair; of love over everything." (Sunday Times)
"An astonishing narrative of two people dragging themselves from the depths of despair along some of the most dramatic landscapes in the country and ultimately finding themselves." (Independent)

A delightful read
Both heartbreaking and beautifully poignant at the same time. A story of the beauty of nature and the tightrope of resilience and fragility we walk as a part of it

Truly inspirational.... a wonderfully written and poignant story.
This is a wonderfully personal, intimate and honest, true story of an epic walk. Having undertaken the coast path walk myself 30 years ago I am full of admiration for Ray and Moth’s incredible undertaking. We had the option of staying in B&Bs and having a hot shower whenever we wanted. We could visit the quaint little tea houses and enjoy a cream tea whenever we wanted. Having the stress of very limited finances hugely increases the challenge of this remarkable and at times, very physically challenging walk. Ray’s description of the natural beauty, the weather and the characters met along the way show her to be a perceptive observer with great poetic expression. I’m now off to download “The Wild Silence”. I hope someone makes a documentary about their epic journey.

Beautiful, honest, heartfelt, I'll miss them.
I'm so sad to finish this, Ray and Moth feel like my new, old friends. What a journey! Thank you for sharing with such honesty and so eloquently.
I'm so sorry for the hardships you have suffered and homelessness is now at the forefront of my mind. You are both an inspiration for your love and courage. Much love.

Could not stop listening
I’d recommend this book to anyone who’s searching for a true adventure of human endeavour as well as true love. Ray reads her work so beautifully, you’ll never want this journey to end.

A Very Important Book and a Great Read
I loved The Salt Path. The candidness of the author was like a breath of salt air! This is a true lived experience that gives important insights into so many areas of life including homelessness, chronic illness, health, social inequality and the power of just doing something and being kind to others even when we feel utterly defeated and hopeless or feel we have little to give. The narration by the author gives it added power and credibility. This was one of my favourite reads of 2023. I wish I'd come across it sooner.
