Mist by Mary Fitzgerald

A railway walk would be the perfect companion to this book as it’s set firmly in the Welsh Mountains in the present day but in a Wales that is still very much rural and untouched as it was when the railway was built. The story takes place in a rural cottage in the mountains and the mist in the story creates the most ethereal of settings

“In the lower fields the sheep huddled miserably agains the stone walls, half grown lambs pressed against their mothers silently enduring the familiar climatic conditions”

Monument to Murder by Mari Hannah

Mari Hannah brings the landscape and coastline of Northumberland to life with all of her books but Monument to Murder is particularly apt for a walk passing the mighty ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle.

Monument to Murder takes place with this castle in the background.Most of the story unfolds on Bamburgh Beach with Dunstanburgh just down the coast. The sands here are the scene for a criminal find…

The windswept North East coastline is evoked in style and Jo, a character from the book even has a cottage in Low Newton where the walk ends up.

Neither here nor there by Bill Bryson

Bill Bryson brings his unique brand of humour to Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before.

You’ve never travelled across Europe as Bill Bryson has – or at least you  haven’t seen it quite as he does!

Just inland is the 11th century Corfe Castle, the moored boats at Wareham harbour and the rolling hills and villages of Thomas Hardy’s Wessex.

Swanage based Mark Bauer – one of the UK’s leading landscape photographers, takes you on a tour of the classic Dorset locations and shares some of the area’s hidden photographic gems.
