The Path of Peace: Walking the Western Front Way

Author(s): Anthony Seldon

Travel writing

In August 2021, Anthony Seldon set out on a gruelling 35-day pilgrimage from the Swissborder to the English Channel, following the historic route of the Western Front. From sumptuous towns in the east of France to the haunting trenches of the Somme and Ypres, thewalk took in many important sites from World War I as well as some of Europe's most beautiful scenery.


The Path of Peace is the extraordinary story of Anthony's epic walk, combining memoir, naturewriting and travel, and touching on grief, loss and the legacy of war in a profoundly moving act of remembrance.
