I am a postdoctoral landscape researcher combining a day job as a public footpath officer with freelance landscape, rights of way and access management, and heritage research, writing and consultancy. My Landscapism blog covers a broad range of landscape-related subjects, navigating the interface between landscape history and deep topography, and I also contribute to other sites, publications and events. My areas of research interest increasingly coalesce around the past and present of paths, walking and public access in the landscape.
