Welcome

 Jan Wiltshire is a nature writer living in Cumbria. She loves to explore coast, islands and mountain landscapes. Sharing the immediacy of personal  experience and her curiosity about  the natural world.  A chronicle through the seasons, through the years in times  of change. Her website is a resource and an archive. See her nature writer's blog.  



She likes to share the inspiration of the Natural World.  Her local patch, her  study area,  is Scout Scar.  On 12th June 2024 Westmorland and Furness Council barred access via the Brigsteer Bridge. Five months later we're still  waiting for an interim plan and a date when access will be restored to walkers, runners and cyclists. In the meantime she campaigns for the right to roam, access to access land,  a safe, direct and familiar way to the countryside on our doorstep.


Go to My Books for details of her printed books Cumbrian Contrasts and About Scout Scar. Book covers show recurring themes of flora, fauna, geology,  farming and conservation, season and weather. There are  maps and introductory chapters.
