Retired pensioner Harold Fry lives in Kingsbridge with his wife Maureen, whose marriage to him has become despondent and quiet. One day, Harold receives a letter from his old friend, Queenie Hennessy, is dying from cancer and is living in a hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Harold then decides to walk the distance of England to reach Berwick-upon-Tweed with the use of transport or support from Maureen.
