For writer Virginia Woolf, writing and walking were inextricably linked. She made up her books as she walked along, and much of that walking took place on the South Downs in Sussex.

The English countryside surrounded Monk’s House, Virginia and Leonard’s home, offering peace and solitude, as well as a sense of continuity and replenishment, both vital for her creativity.

Using extracts from Woolf’s diaries and letters, which evocatively record her experiences of walking on the Downs, this pamphlet visually reimagines the journey to her sister’s, artist Vanessa Bell's, house.
