Walking With Whitman features Stuart Maconie as he meets devotees of Walt Whitman in Bolton, exploring the town's unique and enduring relationship with the American poet. A group of dedicated fans established the Whitman Fellowship in 1885, and although Whitman never visited Bolton, he formed strong ties through correspondence with its members.

Today, Whitman enthusiasts gather for the annual Whitman Walk, where they recite his works and share from Whitman's Loving Cup, a gift presented to his followers in Bolton in 1894. Join Stuart as he walks with this joyful group of Whitmanites to uncover why the poet continues to be celebrated there, nearly 120 years after his passing.
