Tom Bullough

Biography

Tom Bullough grew up on a remote hill farm in Radnorshire, a setting that deeply informs his preoccupation with the intersection of landscape, history, and the natural world. He began his career with a series of acclaimed novels, most notably Addlands (2016), which chronicled seventy years of Welsh farming life and earned him praise from literary titans like John Banville. In the 2020s, Bullough’s work took a radical turn toward non-fiction and direct activism. Driven by what he describes as an "urgent moral obligation" to address the climate crisis, he joined Extinction Rebellion and was famously arrested during a 2021 protest in London. This experience, combined with a 250-mile walk along an ancient Roman road, culminated in his seminal work Sarn Helen (2023). By early 2026, he is recognized not just as a writer but as a "cultural architect" seeking new myths to help society navigate ecological collapse.
