Writers have always been inspired by place. The houses they lived in and the gardens and landscapes they walked in are often as central to the imaginative process as the novelist's fictional characters or the poet's imagery. To visit the places connected with a writer's life gives new insights into their work, and there is a special thrill in following in literary footsteps.
On the Writer's Trail is a walker's guide to twenty such journeys made on foot, by car - and even by boat. It focuses on the many National Trust properties with literary connections, and features some of the most beautiful locations in the British Isles.
