Katherine May

We are excited to announce that we are welcoming author Katherine May, as an ambassador of the Association. 

“I’m deeply honoured to become an ambassador for the South West Coast Path. For me, this rugged and beautiful route represents so many things - I come to it to celebrate good times, and to heal myself in hard times. I hope I can help others to fall in love with the SWCP, and to treat it with the respect it needs and deserves.” 

Katherine is an internationally bestselling author and podcaster living in Whitstable, UK. Her hybrid memoir Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times became a New York Times, Sunday Times and Der Spiegel bestseller, was adapted as BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week, and was shortlisted for the Porchlight and Barnes and Noble Book of the Year. The Electricity of Every Living Thing, her memoir of a midlife autism diagnosis, is currently being adapted as an audio drama by Audible. Katherine lives with her husband, son, two cats and a dog. She loves walking, sea-swimming and pickling slightly unappealing things.
