The Moor

In this deeply personal journey across our nation’s most forbidding and mysterious terrain, William Atkins takes us from south to north in search of the heart of this elusive landscape. His account is an exploration of moorland’s uniquely captivating position in our literature, history and psyche.

In this gripping talk he shows us that the fierce landscapes we associate with Wuthering Heights and The Hound of the Baskervilles are far from being untouched wildernesses. Instead these moors echo with tales of the country and the people who live in it.
