Walking Gloucestershire with Ivor Gurney by Eleanor Rawling

Ivor Gurney is one of Gloucester’s famous sons, whose reputation as a poet and musician is steadily growing. This book introduces readers and walkers to the Gloucestershire places that inspired and grounded Gurney’s poetry. In this book twenty circular walks follow his footsteps through the landscape, drawing on his poetry and letters to understand more about his experiences and creative activities. Specially commissioned hand-drawn maps and illustrations are provided to show each route, to identify the actual places revealed in his poems and to illuminate those historic, cultural and landscape features that defined it for Ivor Gurney.

The hand-drawn maps, illustrations and photographs make this an attractive guide – both to Ivor Gurney, the poet and to some of Gloucestershire’s most scenic and historic landscapes – for those who walk and for those who wish to travel from the comfort of their armchair.

Eleanor Rawling is a geographer, writer and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. She is newsletter editor of the Ivor Gurney Society and has led numerous walks in Gurney’s Gloucestershire.
