Get back to nature and explore sites unspoilt by humankind with the
latest addition to the Inspired Traveller’s Guide series. We humans
don't just love wild places. We need them; we need their scale, their
breath, their drama and enigma. Wild places can be a balm and a
solace; an escape or a returning; a best friend; an inner cleanse. And
they can remind us of our unimportance in the world. Travel writer
Sarah Baxter presents 25 untameable natural wonders that reveal the
curious story of our wild planet and why we need to protect it.
Despite all the advances of human civilisation, we’ve yet to come up
with anything to rival the majesty of Lapland's snow-capped mountain
summits, the haunting song of humpback whales in a Namibian paradise
or the epic sculptural forms of Utah's vast Canyonlands. Escape to
each of these unforgettable sites and more with Wild Places, an
insightful and stunningly illustrated guide to all Mother Nature has
