NATURE WRITING
October 10-15 • Nigel Brown and Mark Cocker
Guests: Kim Atkinson & Christine Evans

Residential: £525 (single); £300 (shared); £275 (Non-residential)   Bursaries available.

Nature Writing is an attempt to draw together in one literary form the realms of science, art and personal memoir. What better place to reflect upon all these themes than in wild Wales and the glorious coastal landscapes of the Llŷn Peninsula. We will examine the natural forces that create this beautiful environment but we will also consider how you find a language to express encounters with living places and wild things. Outdoors and indoors, this is a course where your walking boots are as essential as your laptop. 

10% off for members of any naturalist trusts or other nature / conservation groups in Wales.
