Rob Cowen & Robert Macfarlane | The North Road
Sat 26 Apr 2025 | 10:00am – 11:00am

Rob Cowen is one of our most original voices on nature, place and people. His work Common Ground was voted one of the nation’s favourite nature books of all time in a BBC poll. In his new and profoundly personal book, the award-winning author journeys the Great North Road, weaving the people, history and places in a work of unforgettable prose. Join Cowan in discussion with festival honorary patron Robert Macfarlane who describes the books as ‘Radical and beautiful. Haunted and haunting… A dazzlingly inventive work of literature.’.
