Woodlanders Coracle

In autumn 2010, the Witham  Coracle was featured in the inspirational book, “Woodlanders, New Life in Britain’s Forests”, edited by Ian Edwards and published by Saraband.  

This high quality book covers everything ‘woodsy’ from woodland foraging to state - of - the -art timber framed building, and of course, traditional coracle building too! Illustrated with stunning photographs throughout,

“Woodlanders” is one of the best books of its type I have seen, and a must for the bookshelf of anyone interested in woodlands, woodcraft and the wider countryside.

“Woodlanders” by Ian Edwards. ISBN 978-188735469-1 in the Witham Coracle featured in the book.

“Woodlanders” also cites the help and influence of the late Ronnie Davies, master coracle maker of Cenarth in my own coracle making.

Ronnie was genuine and generous in spirit, and without his help, my own craft may have taken a very different path. It is in his memory I unofficially dedicate my own involvement in “Woodlanders”.
