'Sarn Helen' is the account of Tom Bullough’s journey along Sarn Helen – Helen's  Causeway – the old Roman Road that runs from the south of Wales to the north. As Tom walks the route, he explores the political, cultural and mythical history of this small country that has been divided by language and geography. Woven into this journey are conversations with climate scientists and the story of Tom’s engagement with the urgent issue of the climate crisis, showing us its likely impact on Wales, which is – in miniature – a vision of what lies ahead for us all.

This is a free event - all are welcome.

Please join us to celebrate the launch of Tom's new book, his first work of non-fiction which has been met with huge critical acclaim:

A profound and beautiful portrait of Wales. With great charm and learning, Tom Bullough walks us through the country's leafy backways, its deep pasts, the sparkling shards of its identity, its vanishing rural traditions and its fragile ecology.

Philip Marsden

A crucial book for now... Bullough has produced a multilayered and compelling account of his home's imperilled future... Stunning.

Vital, and urgent with concern. You cannot leave this book without its message thundering in your head. It is not enough to walk old routes. This was. Now what?
