Ursula Martin

Event information

Ursula Martin never thought she would walk 3,700 miles around Wales, but following a cancer diagnosis it seemed like the only reasonable thing to do. Her best-selling book One Woman Walks Wales, documented this journey, but it was only the start of Ursula’s ambition. In an epic test of stamina, Ursula has since embarked on a 5,550 mile walk from Wales to Ukraine and back again, stopping off in countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Italy, France and Spain. She brings to life challenging landscapes and the people she met along the way. Since publication, she has been walking from Land’s End to John O’Groats, calling in on bookshops along the way; she may arrive in a similar style for our Presteigne event.
