About the Author

Lancashire-based writer and photographer Terry Marsh specialises in the outdoors, the countryside, walking and travel worldwide. He has been writing books since the mid-1980s, and is the author or revision author of over 100 books, including the award-winning Cicerone guides A Northern Coast to Coast Walk and The Shropshire Way, as well as Cicerone guides to the Isle of Skye, the Isle of Mull, the West Pennine Moors, the Forest of Bowland, the Severn Way, the Dales Way and the West Highland Way. More recently he has written and illustrated Great Mountain Days in Snowdonia.

Terry has a particular interest in Cumbria and the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, Lancashire, the Peak District, the Hebrides and the Isle of Man. Living on the edge of the West Pennine Moors, it was only natural that his interest expanded to embrace the central thrust of the Pennines, and this led to a book produced in the 1980s – Great Classic Walks in the Pennines. Thereafter, he was a frequent visitor to all parts of the Pennines, especially the South Pennines, which have the hearty tang of Lancashire about them.

Terry was born into a Lancashire mining family, but escaped the clutches of the National Coal Board to enter local government, wherein he remained until 1990, by which time his first books had been published. A few years as a driving instructor helped to bolster his earnings as a writer before he went full time and trusted to his pen.

Terry holds an MA in Lake District Studies, and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS) and of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (FSA Scot), a member of the Society of Authors and the NUJ, and an Honorary Life Member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
