One Woman Walks Europe with Ursula Martin

Ursula Martin never thought she would walk 3,700 miles around Wales, but following a cancer diagnosis it seemed like the only reasonable thing to do. Her best-selling book One Woman Walks Wales, documented her amazing journey, but this was only the start of Ursula’s ambition.

In an epic test of stamina, Ursula has since embarked on a 5,550 mile walk from Wales to Ukraine and back again, stopping off in countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Italy, France and Spain. Bringing to life challenging landscapes and the people she met along the way, this was a life changing walk for Ursula and her new book One Woman Walks Europe will enrich the lives of the readers who join her on this incredible journey.

To celebrate the release of One Woman Walks Europe, Ursula is embarking on a walking book tour covering 1,735 miles, commencing in Wales and moving on to walk from Land’s End to John O’Groats. Ursula will be calling in at bookshops for signings and talks along the way and we are delighted to be part of the tour!

Join us for a fascinating talk with Ursula – tickets are £5 and are redeemable towards a copy of One Woman Walks Europe on the evening.

The event will be held on Saturday 19th July at 7pm in our dedicated events space below the shop.
