About the Author
Kev Reynolds was a freelance writer, photojournalist and lecturer. A prolific compiler of guidebooks, he produced many titles for Cicerone. A member of the Outdoor Writers' Guild, the Alpine Club and Austrian Alpine Club, his passion for mountains and the countryside inspired a lifetime's activity, and he regularly travelled throughout Britain to share that enthusiasm through his lectures. Sadly, Kev passed away in 2021. Jonathan Williams has been Cicerone's Publisher since 1999. Now retiring (gradually) he and Lesley Williams have written and updated several guides in recent years, including the 2017 edition of this guide.
