Patrick Galbraith in Conversation with Sarah Jane Chimbwandira – Uncommon Ground

Join us as Patrick Galbraith discusses his new book and takes
us on an extraordinary tour of rural Britain, from the Hebrides
to Devon, and from Anglo-Saxon England to the present day.
In his much-celebrated style, Galbraith works hard to listen
to those who often don’t get listened to. This raking survey of
our fast-changing country, reveals the essence of rural Britain's soul. Uncommon Ground argues that what matters is not greater access but how we engage with the land and demands that landowners give us more opportunities to do so, while also giving endangered wildlife the right to tranquillity.
