Inspired by The Salt Path — A Story of Resilience and the Power of Nature

If you’ve read Raynor Winn’s bestselling memoir The Salt Path — or seen the film adaptation — you’ll appreciate just how transformative the South West Coastal Path can be. The book tells the remarkable true story of Raynor and her husband Moth, who, after losing their home and facing hardship, set out to walk the entire 630 miles of the path. Their journey of endurance, connection, and healing amid the wild beauty of the coast is a testament to the spirit of adventure and the restorative power of nature.

Staying at St Kew Shepherd Huts puts you right at the doorstep of the landscapes that inspired The Salt Path. Imagine waking up to the sound of birdsong, stepping outside your hut, and setting off to explore the same breathtaking scenery that helped renew Raynor and Moth’s hope and courage.
