Reaching a major crossroads in 2021, Patrick Davies did the only thing he could think of - he set off alone with a pair of walking boots and a tent to walk the length of Britain in the hope of finding escape and answers.

To many, Patrick appeared to have it all - a loving family, an enviable career that took him around the world, a rewarding future clearly mapped out. Then everything abruptly changed. He found himself returning to Britain without a job or a home to discover a family reeling from his father's dementia diagnosis and a country tearing itself apart after Brexit.

In sharing his 1400-mile journey from the southernmost point of England to the northern tip of Scotland, Patrick explores issues of identity and belonging, anticipatory grief and the meaning of home against the backdrop of a world turned upside down.

Where Skylarks Sing is an inspiring story of endurance and the healing power of walking told through the beautiful and varied landscapes of Britain.
