The inspirational true story of Raynor Winn hits the big screen this week with the release of The Salt Path, depicting her journey along the South West Coast Path. Winn's life with her

husband Moth took a dramatic turn when they found themselves without a home due to a failed business venture and Moth's diagnosis with corticobasal degeneration (CBD). Seeking a fresh

start, they embarked on the monumental trek of the 630-mile South West Coast Path, which stretches from Somerset's Minehead through Devon, Cornwall, and ends in Dorset's Poole

Harbour. With little money left, Raynor and Moth began their challenge armed only with basic camping gear from eBay and instant noodles, facing their first hurdle setting up a tent at the

edge of Exmoor. Gillian Anderson stars as Raynor and Jason Isaacs takes on the role of her husband Moth in the film, which was shot across various UK locations including Chepstow,

Monmouthshire, Aust, Gloucestershire, and scenic spots along the route like East Head in West Wittering, reports Cornwall Live. Cornish filming locations featured Padstow, Fistral Beach,

Port Quin, Holywell Bay, and Rame Head. Critics praise The Salt Path, evidenced by its strong 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Stephen Romei of The Australian extolling it as

"an intelligent, bittersweet drama with well-placed moments of humour and humanity." Sandra Hall of the Sydney Morning Herald noted: "In the face of misfortune on this scale,

it's tempting to tune out and leave them to it. "But Anderson and Isaacs are both so appealing in the roles that you can't help becoming involved." Jane Freebury also

commented: "A long journey around the coast is also a journey inwards, with actors at the top of their game, in this moving story of love, friendship and resolve." Anderson,

meanwhile, expressed her feelings about the film's heartbreaking true story. She told The Big Issue: "She went on: "I bought Ray's audiobook and was profoundly affected

by it. I was then trying to find out about the rights. "Commenting on the film, Isaacs said: "It shocked me how quickly and easily they became homeless. ""One moment they

were sure that they were going to keep their home, then they're sitting in court and suddenly there is a date, a ticking clock." THE SALT PATH WILL BE RELEASED IN CINEMAS ON MAY
