Author Raynor Winn has been accused of fabricating or giving misleading information about some elements of her best-selling book The Salt Path.The 2018 book, and recent film adaptation, told the story of a couple who decide to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path after their home is repossessed.

An investigation by The Observer found some of Raynor Winn's claims about her husband's illness and the events that led to the couple losing their home were misrepresented. The author says the article is "highly misleading".

The author of The Salt Path has been dropped by a leading charity after she was accused of embezzling £64,000. Raynor Winn’s best-selling memoir tells the story of the author and her husband Moth, who decided to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path after their home was repossessed and Moth was diagnosed with a degenerative disease.
