The Inspiring Story of The Salt Path

The inspiring story of The Salt Path, a memoir by Raynor Winn, which has touched the hearts of readers worldwide. Published in 2018, this true account follows Raynor and her husband, Moth, as they embark on a transformative 630-mile journey along the South West Coast Path. Facing Moth’s terminal diagnosis and the loss of their home, they set out with just £115 and a tent, finding strength in nature and each other as they navigate through grief and healing.

The book has not only resonated with readers—selling over a million copies—but it’s also inspired a film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, set to be released in April 2025.

While tackling the entire 630-mile path may be a bit ambitious for a weekend getaway, you’ll be pleased to know that The Salt Path is just a short walk from our hotel. You can explore beautiful stretches of the South West Coast Path in either direction, immersing yourself in the stunning natural landscape that inspired Raynor and Moth's incredible journey.

Fun fact: Completing the full South West Coast Path is equivalent to climbing Ben Nevis 26 times or Everest four times!
