Author Sarah Robinson has been writing about witches for nearly a decade. But can the witches cast a spell to re-enchant her with the landscapes she calls home?
In Witch Country, Sarah ventures over, in, and under Britain’s storied landscapes, with its rich witch heritage as her guide.
Join her as she’s led astray by witch hares and colt pixies, and inspired by sorceresses, wishing trees and crystal caves. Meet whispering knights, modern-day witches, and ancient mother stones in this spellbinding exploration of fascinating folklore, harrowing history, haunting superstitions, and the magical spaces where they all collide.
This immersive journey and captivating tribute to nature weaves together places and voices from across the British Isles. Unearthing stories and spirit of place rooted in the land, and revealing that wherever you may roam, a little magic is never far away…
Full of good stories, this is a thoughtful and warm meditative journey through the witchy locations and landscapes of Britain, drawing on folklore, history and nature writing to guide readers on their own walks and inspire them to appreciate the stories of accused witches.

Praise
“Full of good stories, this is a thoughtful and warm meditative journey through the witchy locations and landscapes of Britain, drawing on folklore, history and nature writing to guide readers on their own walks and inspire them to appreciate the stories of accused witches.”
—Marion Gibson, professor of Renaissance and Magical Literatures, University of Exeter, author of Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials and The Witches of St Osyth
“Beautifully written, absorbing and strangely seductive, this book is a panacea; everyone should read it. Robinson’s gentle yet powerful journey through the seasons is balm for the soul. It should be in schools, workplaces and the halls of government. Its grounding, healing message is what we all need right now. Robinson for Minister of Magic and Wonder!”
—Miriam Darlington, The Times
“Sarah Robinson takes us with her on an amazing journey of discovery, interweaving the history, legends and superstitions surrounding the much-maligned witches, healers and wisewomen of the past – their stories still preserved in old manuscripts, in old tales, in the landscape, in ancient sites, in caves and woods. This is a sensitive, well researched investigation. It is insightful, thought-provoking and sometimes shocking, as Sarah upturns the history of the witch in our land. She gathers her experiences and explores her relationship with what she discovers – draws from the spirits of place, the sense of ‘Other’, the wildlife and nature connection that she experiences along the way. Historical facts interweave with tales passed down through countless generations. This is a thoroughly enjoyable read, told with insight, good humour and a refreshing honesty. It is a great inspiration to us all to get out into our ancient landscape and experience our interconnectedness for ourselves.”
—Glennie Kindred, author of Earth’s Cycle of Celebration, Between the Worlds and many more
“A warm, witty and witchy tour of Britain, attentive to hidden voices, rich folklore and vital history.”
—Patrick Barkham, natural history writer for The Guardian, author of Badgerlands, Islander, The Butterfly Isles, Coastlines and Wild Child
