I was trawling the internet for great quotes about walking, and I found one from the novelist Elizabeth von Arnim.

She's right up Firk-on-Foot Street because she says, walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things.

It's the one way of freedom.

If you go to a place on anything but your own feet, you're taking there too fast amidst a thousand delicate

joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Welcome back to Folk on Foot.

Welcome to Folk on Foot. We're on the beach at Exmouth, the Devon Seaside Town that does what it says on the tin,

because this is the mouth of the River X, which rises 50 miles away on Exmoor and makes its way down here to the sea.

And it's one of the longest sea fronts in the UK, beautiful

beach. And it's wonderful to be walking here on a crisp, sunny March morning. Some of the rocks

around here are 185 million years old. But we're here to meet somebody who arrived a bit more

recently. Steve Knightley,

who's half of the folk duo show of hands, a singer, a guitarist, a songwriter who grew up in

Exmouth and then lives nowadays in Topsham. And we're going to make that journey up the River

X with him on foot. We're going to walk from Exmouth to Topsham

to learn about his life,

about his music,

and about the landscape that inspires

so many of the songs he's written for show of hands.

I was born in a damaging seaside town
