Wayfarer

A journey through ancient trails, wild landscapes and the quiet power of walking toward healing.

When seasoned adventurer Phoebe Smith set out to walk the world-famous Camino de Santiago, she didn’t expect to lose her way—not on the trail, but in her life. Leaving behind her dream job and a long-term relationship, she returned to North Wales seeking clarity, purpose, and something she couldn’t yet name.

Wayfarer follows Phoebe as she stumbles upon some of Britain’s oldest and most sacred pilgrim paths—routes etched into the landscape by centuries of seekers. But this is no tale of religious devotion. Instead, it’s a deeply personal exploration of how nature, solitude, and ancient ways of walking can lead us back to ourselves.

As she traverses windswept coastlines, mossy woodland trails and high mountain passes, Phoebe begins to confront the buried grief and traumas she thought she’d left behind—loss, heartbreak, disordered eating, and the dark quiet of depression. With each step, the wild offers not just challenge, but comfort; not escape, but insight.
