Raynor Winn opens her journal, The Salt Path, with a short introduction including her and her better half, Moth, awakening in their tent near the ocean to the shock of the rising tide. She watches in stunningness as he gets the tent and stumbles into the ocean side with it over his head, when just months prior he battled to put on his own jacket without assistance. The journal then, at that point, goes to the months paving the way right up 'til today, 36 evenings and 243 miles into their journey along the South West Coast Path of England, following how they arrived and what prompted their choice to walk the long and strenuous way and wild camp en route. 

Section One starts when, at 50 years of age, Raynor and her better half Moth lose a fight in court and are being compelled to surrender their cherished farmhouse in Wales, which they have gone through the most recent 20 years incorporating their family home into an asylum and a type of revenue as an excursion rental. They brought up their two kids there—Rowan and Tom, presently in college—and have prized recollections spent there. They presently face looming destitution and vagrancy.

They endure incredible actual difficulty on the stroll, under rankling warm climate, viciously weighty downpour, going over risky landscape of precipices and ocean. They are eager, burned by the sun, and pain-filled, and Ray is worried that they have put Moth's wellbeing at more serious danger by settling on this choice. At the point when he runs out of his pain relievers, he starts experiencing withdrawal. In any case, soon, supernaturally, he observes that his brain starts to clear, and his body starts to reinforce. 

By Part Three, they are encountering migraines, dazedness, and steady appetite. They feel frantic and irate. Once in a while, they get generosity from individuals they meet out and about, for example, a man who takes them back to his home and offers food and accommodation. Yet, they likewise get segregation from individuals who display dread and doubt towards them. Now it is September, and the climate is becoming colder.

They feel like they settled on the ideal choice and presently, they dread the finish of the way, not knowing what the following stage will be. At the point when they arrive at Land's End, the milestone they anticipated completing at, they choose to clutch the feeling of opportunity and reason that strolling and setting up camp together has given them and they proceed with the way. They partake in the magnificence of the outside, wondering about bluffs, waterfronts, woods, inlets, and so on Nonetheless, as the harvest time temperatures keep on dropping, Moth's wellbeing is impacted, and they conclude that they need to track down a rooftop to remain under for the colder time of year. When they arrive at Polruan, regardless of questions that they are settling on some unacceptable decision, they acknowledge a proposal from a close buddy named Polly to remain in a shed in return for some work. 

In Part Five, in late October, they subside into Polly's shed and Moth starts putting the dividers. They feel dislodged and miss the outside. Moth's wellbeing rapidly disintegrates, and he dives into crippling agony and shortcoming indeed, similar to he felt before they started their walk. Beam starts functioning as a sheep fleece packer. Beam can't envision daily routine without Moth and starts to experience with the consistent sensation of his phantom close by. The months pass by, and by spring, they discover that they should empty the shed and they should settle on their following stage. Moth applies to acquire his showing degree at college and they conclude they will utilize the understudy loan to lease a little convenience. It is currently July, so they choose to get together and head to the way again until September. 

In Part Six, they return to the way. This time, they start at the opposite end, at Poole, and they intend to work their direction back past Plymouth and towards Polruan, where they finished their walk suddenly. From the get go, they battle truly to recapture their daily practice and their solidarity, however Moth's wellbeing rapidly improves, and they realize they settled on the ideal choice.
