THE SALT PATH is the profound true story of husband and wife, Raynor and Moth Winn’s 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. After being forcibly removed from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination. THE SALT PATH is a journey that is exhilarating, challenging, and liberating in equal measure. A portrayal of home, how it can be lost and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

James O’Brien speaks to journalist Chloe Hadjimatheou about her investigation into The Salt Path, the bestselling memoir by Raynor Winn that became one of 2025’s biggest literary scandals.

The book, later adapted into a film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, told the story of Winn and her husband Moth’s 630-mile walk and his terminal diagnosis – one of many claims challenged by reporting from The Observer.

Winn has strongly denied the allegations as questions grow about the memoir’s accuracy and honesty.

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame and fortune with The Salt Path: the “true” story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. It became a global bestseller, selling over 2 million copies, and in 2025 it was adapted into a major film.

It was a heartwarming story of perseverance and hope.

But we can reveal the couple’s tale of endurance was far from the truth.

Ros Hemmings, who was friends with the couple more than two decades ago, says that the story told in The Salt Path makes her ‘feel sick’. She knew them then by their real names – Sally and Tim Walker.

And the story she remembers is different from the one that’s been sold to the world.

The Salt Path was marketed as an “unflinchingly honest” memoir but Chloe Hadjimatheou’s reporting has revealed that the book contains many inaccuracies.

In this next installment of the investigation, we hear from people who appear in the book, whose stories don’t match up with the one told by author Raynor Winn.

Australian couple Joanne & David Parsons share how their meeting with Raynor Winn and her husband Moth was moved by two years in the book with some key facts altered. In Cornwall, café owner Joanna and staff member Bonnie reveal why the dramatic scene set in their family-run café could never have happened, with details in the book that simply don’t match reality.

Chloe examines these accounts alongside social media posts from the Winns’ own son that suggest even more discrepancies between the memoir and real life.
