This week’s Friday Walk turned into a country pub crawl. There are worse ways to spend a day: youtube.com/shorts/yl-dP...

I think I’d need a bigger pocket!

A pasty in my pocket and a pint at the end: let’s go for a Friday Walk: youtube.com/shorts/-s1yy...

I visited two really nice (and very different churches) on my Friday Walk. The first was a sweet little tin tabernacle near the River Severn. The second was a more usual church with a dedication to a local English saint and amazing views over the valley below. youtube.com/shorts/34wHg...

Thank you! I really enjoy slow, careful work. I find it so satisfying

A visit to a castle and a beautiful decorative church! Let’s go for a Friday Walk: youtube.com/shorts/mV_dK...

That stone looks very exotic to me. Like a Guylian seashell

This is incredible! This bit of stone from Dorset has daggers and axes that were carved into it thousands of years ago. And the only other place in Britain you’ll find that is at Stonehenge! The past is such a mystery!

What a beautiful set of colours!

man in the woods @maninthewoods.co.uk · 31/07/2026

Is there any suggestion that they might have been painted?

man in the woods @maninthewoods.co.uk · 31/07/2026

I love this! In a 90s/00s clip art kind of style!

I just looked it up and I think you’re right! I just don’t have a mind for remembering what the different butterflies are called 👐

man in the woods @maninthewoods.co.uk · 31/07/2026

I rescued a bird! And navigated cows and maize, and played a ropy tune on my whistle in a beautiful old church! Quite a good walk! youtube.com/shorts/mi_85...

If you’ve seen a better pub garden than this, then I need your recommendations! Let’s go for a Friday Walk 🍻 youtube.com/shorts/htfbJ...

When I got home, I started work in my Stonehenge linocut, inspired by a strange drawing I saw on a 17th century map of Wiltshire

A few weeks ago Charlie and I were lucky enough to be taken on a walk around the Stonehenge landscape by archaeologist Julian Richards. He writes the official guidebook for English Heritage so he’s the right person to be shown around by! youtube.com/shorts/n3mQF...

It made me think about the way folk stories and songs change as they get passed down from person to person, which I really like. The most noticeable oddities were the cylindrical lintels on the trilithons, and I really wanted to make my own version of this slightly odd depiction of Stonehenge.

man in the woods @maninthewoods.co.uk · 04/07/2026

I made this print after coming across a 1610 map of Wiltshire that had a great drawing of Stonehenge in one corner. It was really accurate in some ways but also very odd, like a drawing by somebody who had never been to Stonehenge, based on a drawing by somebody who had been in person.

It was a bit wet but there was plenty to see! Eggs for sale, 2 railway crossings, dog roses and oxeye daisies everywhere, medieval tombs and great hassocks in the church, a glimpse of a stately home, a trotting horse, and a pint of ale at with a friendly face at the end! youtube.com/shorts/t9LcC...

man in the woods @maninthewoods.co.uk · 19/06/2026

Handmade signs, beautiful old cottages, a railway viaduct over a tranquil river, and a pint of cask ale for less than a fiver! Let’s go for a Friday Walk 🍻 youtube.com/shorts/iDoYC...

Wednesday: I love these little poppy seedheads. They’re so structural and decorative. They remind me of imperial crowns.

I made this new linocut print after a walk on a deliriously hot day recently. I realised how useful church towers can be to orient yourself in the landscape (and to guide you into a village (and the pub)).

Yes! They’re the kind of goose I see most, actually!

This week I survived an encounter with a horse, two geese and their goslings, and a thrush lividly smashing a snail against the road. youtube.com/shorts/g8DIn...

I realised on this week’s Friday Walk that if you’d only ever seen the name of the plant “cowslips” written down, you might think they’re called “cow’s lips”. Which is quite a horrible thought. Tiny yellow lips 🌼🐄 youtube.com/shorts/1Q3f6...

How do you feel about scarecrows? 👀 Let’s go for a Friday Walk! youtube.com/shorts/HgYsQ...

Beware the scarecrows of Marshfield (part 3)… Do not let this creature make an image of you. Do not leave this man alone in your garden. This man is not a qualified surgeon.

man in the woods @maninthewoods.co.uk · 18/04/2026

Beware the scarecrows of Marshfield (part 2)… If you see this woman at your windows, quickly draw the curtains. Do not let this vicar marry you. Do not let this man fiddle with your broadband connection.

man in the woods @maninthewoods.co.uk · 18/04/2026

Beware the scarecrows of Marshfield (part 1)… Do not let this man look after your dog. If this woman sits near you, move away quickly and quietly. Whatever this man offers you, say no.

A scarecrow in the form of a vet (I think). He’s sitting on a caged dog.

I think what I’m trying to do with my work is to explore, document, and react to the landscape and folk culture of Britain as I encounter it on my Friday Walk. These are the first six of a new series of linocuts I’ve been making in recent months

Six linocut prints: a view from glastonbury tor, church open, the red lion, somerset, have you seen this creature, this way

Is it possibly a health and safety thing? You know, to warn the enemy they’re coming so nobody gets injured?

Who is that naughty little man? 👀 Let’s go for a Friday Walk! youtube.com/shorts/Hp9Ly...

I just listened to the absolute unit podcast by @themerl.bsky.social with @maninthewoods.co.uk about posters on community notice boards. Probably don't get this in the midlands.

Apparently I missed some interesting carvings at the church in Abson, so I might need to loop back that way

Birdsong, rushing water, good signs, daffodils, a pasty, and a pint. Let’s go for a Friday Walk! youtube.com/shorts/29hkr...

This sounds a bit exciting for people who are into standing stones 🗿

I made this linocut print as a tribute to the hundreds of mysterious big cat sightings reported every year in Britain. Have you seen this creature?

A linocut print of a black leopard (or panther) with the words “HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CREATURE?” underneath. It’s printed in black ink on off-white paper.

At this point I think we should just accept that hedgehogs are our national obsession and change England’s three lions to three furzy-pigs (that’s hedgehogs in some parts)
