In The Wild Places, Robert embarks on a series of beautifully described journeys in search of the wildness that remains in these islands,  commencing and finishing with a surprising connection to an area of landscape right on Fulbourn’s parish boundary.

‘A beautiful and inspiring book …… when Macfarlane moves in to the realities of the landscape, he makes them sing ….. a deeply stirring book’ – Independent

Dr Macfarlane lives in Cambridge and is an English fellow of Emmanuel College.  He knows our local environment well.  If you would like to read The Wild Places in advance,  the library has three copies to lend.
