Corinne Fowler on the history of the countryside

A great piece in a recent Sunday's Observer explored the work of Corinne Fowler and her new book where she takes a series of walks in the company of others and unpicks the colonial stories which have helped shape the present day landscape. 

Corinne was the author of a report exploring the National Trust's links with colonialism which was of course called 'woke', which I don't see as an insult - it's important to be awake to injustice.

In this book, she takes a number of walks which uncover some of the hidden connections with the past. These take her to different parts of Britain, and conversations with different people.
