Witch Country: Seeking the Witch in the British Landscape

Britain is threaded with magic and whispers of witches, places where stories linger in the land itself, in the names of hills and rivers, in the memory of communities, and in ancient stones. After many years of research, writing, and wandering, this book has taken flight. Part folklore, part field guide, Witch Country travels through moorlands and forests, from Dartmoor to Pendle Hill, tracing the stories of witches, women, and the landscapes that shaped them. It is a book about belonging, place, and the quiet magic woven through the land beneath our feet.

From Pendle Hill to the sites of trials and burnings, from Cornwall to the Scottish borders, I followed the paths of cunning folk and wise women. What emerged was not darkness, but resilience. Women who knew, who healed, who spoke, and who refused to vanish quietly from history.

Witch Country is both a record of these journeys and a reflection on the presence of the witch today, not as a relic of the past, but as something still alive in the landscape.

It’s been a joy to travel around the country seeking magic and mischief with the witch as my guide.
