About Us

NORTHERN EYE BOOKS LIMITED was set up in June 2005 by a small group of seasoned walkers, writers and graphic designers to publish a range of exciting, quality-led outdoor and leisure books and guides.

We're a small, independent UK publisher, based in Cheshire. We specialise in walking, climbing, scrambling, hillwalking, countryside and outdoor leisure titles. Northern Eye Books also publish new editions of classic mountain, countryside and walking books, with redesigned covers, revised layouts, and new and archive photographs for added interest.

We publish local and regional books with the design and production values of nationally and internationally produced and distributed books. Excellence in design is our watchword.

We believe in good writing, good structure, good design and attractive covers. Our walking and outdoor books feature carefully selected routes, easy to follow walking directions, clear maps and fascinating information about places of interest along the way. Our books are also attractively and realistically priced. All of which makes for great books that are a pleasure to read.

We also create books to suit your needs on commission.
