MARK REID, author of 'The Inn Way' guidebooks
Mark Reid lives in Harrogate on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and is passionate about walking, country pubs and the British countryside. He has extensive knowledge of local history, geology, geography, folklore and country pubs, as well as walking and navigational skills. He enjoys sharing this passion and the landscapes of the North of England he knows and loves with others.

Mark has since written 16 successful walking guidebooks includiung ‘The Inn Way’ and ‘Walking Weekends’ series. He writes regular walks and outdoor articles for various regional and national newspapers and magazines.
