Ring the Hill

By: Tom Cox

Narrated by: Tom Cox

Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it includes a northern hill, a hill that never ends and the smallest hill in England. Each chapter takes a type of hill - whether it's a knoll, cap, cliff, tor or even a mere bump - as a starting point for one of Tom's characteristically unpredictable and wide-ranging explorations.

Tom's lyrical, candid prose roams from an intimate relationship with a particular cove on the south coast, to meditations on his great-grandmother and a lesson on what goes into the mapping of hills themselves. Because a good walk in the hills is never just about the hills: you never know where it might lead.

Very good book about the English countryside

This is a beautiful book of recollections of living in the Southwest of England. Detailed descriptions of walks in Devon, Dorset and Somerset including local stories and history. Just really interesting. Well read. I enjoyed listening to it. I live in Dorset so it was especially meaningful but anyone who has a love of countryside will like this.
