Mark Reid

mark reidMark is a qualified Walking Group Leader, Hill & Moorland Leader & Mountain Leader, has a BA (Hons) Geography from the University of Lancaster and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS).

Mark is the author of 17 books, including the acclaimed 'The Inn Way’ series with books covering all of the National Parks of Northern England. Three of his books have been awarded ‘travel book of the week’ in The Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday and the Guardian.

In 1997 Mark gave up a successful career as an area manager with a large brewery to pursue his dream of writing his 'Inn Way' books. Since 1997, Mark has walked over 27,000 miles of footpaths across the hills and mountains of Northern England and knows this area like the back of his hand - the history, geology, folklore, fauna, flora and the best pubs - and will share this knowledge and experience with you.

Since 2007, Mark has taken out over 16,000 people walking in the countryside - in all weathers and with all ages and abilities; it's all about the steps you take, not the distance you walk.

Mark has been featured on ITV Yorkshire’s ‘A Breath of Fresh Air’ TV walks series, with weatherman Jon Mitchell, for a number of years.
