Since 2014

A house, not a catalogue.

Marram is named for the grass that holds a dune together. We liked the plant more than any word for travel.

The house exists because Inês and Callum were tired of itineraries that treated a country as a list. They wanted weeks that stayed. One landscape. A table you return to. Enough weather to have an opinion about it.

We run a handful of departures a year. Group size is eight to ten. Two weeks before you leave, a field booklet arrives in the post: maps, ferry times, a reading list, and the number of a person who will actually answer.

Cartographic editor, then this

Inês Vale

Spent a decade making maps for a press that still believed in paper. She plans the weeks that turn on kitchens, markets, and the way a town sits in its valley.

Walking guide, Harris

Callum Reed

Grew up on a ferry timetable. He hosts the Atlantic weeks and still writes the walking notes by hand before they go to print.

Rua Pedro de Alcântara 42, Alcântara, Lisbon

A planning desk in Edinburgh, used when the Atlantic is being difficult. Visits are by arrangement.
