From her early childhood when her inspirational mother would take her on trips along her beloved Ridgeway in a horse-drawn cart Candida Lycett Green has retained a love of green lanes and tracks of moving along at horse's pace and casting an eye on the beauty of England through the back door. Her insatiable appetite for exploring unknown territory has led her to travel all over the country by horse for weeks at a time and often these journeys have come at important turning points in her life.

Lyrical yet down-to-earth framed by a recent 150-mile journey through Yorkshire and Northumberland with a friend Over the Hills and Far Away dips back into past journeys by horse that also reflect her idyllic childhood in the bohemian Betjeman household a charmed youth in the Swinging Sixties a year-long honeymoon journey overland to India early days at Private Eye and the ups and downs of thirty-nine years of marriage and motherhood. Her story is made all the more poignant by her recent fight with breast cancer.
