Books about landscape

671 books in our catalogue · showing 193–240

Books where the land itself is the subject: how a valley, coastline or moor was shaped, who has lived and worked on it, and what it is like to move across it. This shelf mixes nature writing, place-based memoir and natural history with the guidebooks that help you walk the ground.

If you like writing that looks hard at one stretch of country, start with the most recent titles, then follow an author you enjoy. Related shelves: Wilderness, Mountains and Books by place.
