Walking guidebooks

Three very good paperbacks from the Amazon Cicerone store. There are many others to choose from. Although I make up my own walking routes, I regularly look at these guides for inspiration.

Natural history books

Written by biologist and photographer Paul Sterry, these field guides have set new standards in terms of image quality and the role that photography has to play in the identification of plants and animals. I refer to them regularly to help me learn about the wildlife I see in the English countryside.

Ordnance Survey maps

Excellent maps which clearly display footpaths, rights of way, open access land and vegetation on the ground, making them ideal for walking, running and hiking. Visit Amazon’s Ordnance Survey page to see the extensive range which covers all of England, Scotland and Wales.

Two of many very good base layers from the Amazon Berghaus store. Available in a variety of colours and sizes. I often wear them together for extra warmth and insulation.
