Walking Words is a series of 5 walking-based pamphlets comprising mapped routes, poetry, photography and reflective text that offers self-guided walks that can be experienced both physically and as “armchair walks”.

The series is structured around progression through different landscapes and themes, moving from accessible introductory routes into more layered reflective experiences including reverse journeys and route combinations.

There are five pamphlets in the series. Pamphlet 1 includes background and context for the series. Pamphlet 5 includes an afterword from Sarah Hyde, Sandra Reeve and Phil Smith.

The series is developed from Carran Waterfield’s Follow the Stone walks in Churchtown and Marshside (Southport, UK).
