During the enforced idleness of the Covid-19 pandemic, Christopher
Somerville revisited the 450 notebooks whose pages contain the
accumulated thoughts and experiences of a career spent exploring
Britain on foot over four decades. The View from the Hill pulls
together the cream of this unique crop, following the cycle of the
seasons from a freezing January to a Christmas sunrise. In between
are hundreds of walks that take in magnificent flora and fauna,
ancient traditions and folklore, and geological peculiarities and
wonders – all narrated with moving and humorous sensitivity.
There’s no need to move from your chair to go walking in
Christopher’s company. Just stir up the fire, fill your glass,
and let these spirited tales take you out of here and far away.
