Fennel Hudson

Fennel Hudson is an angling and countryside author best known for his Fennel's Journal books and as host of The Contented Countryman podcast. He's a naturalist and outdoorsman who values old-fashioned things and champions a relaxing and peaceful country life. Much of his writing centres on what he calls 'The Quiet Fields' – the quiet corners of the landscape where time moves slowly and nature exists undisturbed. His motto, and the message in his writing, is 'Stop – Unplug – Escape – Enjoy.'

"If Monty Don went fishing with Chris Yates, camped with Ray Mears and cooked with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, you'd have Fennel Hudson." – UK Tentipi Camp 2017

Praise for the writing of Fennel Hudson:

"Author, naturalist and countryman. His is a lifestyle to inspire the most bricked-up townie."

"It's Jack Hargreaves. It's Countryfile. It's quality Sunday newspaper stuff. It's 1948, all over again."

"Fennel has captured the essence of the countryside – that is, its almost human character. So brilliantly has he compared and contrasted it with the nature of we humans. His writing is not so much a 'balanced study', more a 'study of the balance' that exists between Nature and Man."

"Deep in places, outright bonkers in others. A demonstration of the fine line between genius and madness."

"Brilliant writing. He made me laugh out loud in bed. My wife was asking questions!"

"His writing inspires me with faith in the quiet life and that although I may be isolated, I am certainly not alone."
