ABOUT US

We publish books of regional interest, usually based upon English Counties. Book subjects range from country walks and pub walks to memories of Second World War airfields. There is also a series of general books aimed at those who like to discover more of England's heritage and living history; and a series of genealogy (family history/family tree) books for people tracing their family tree, researching their family's history and finding their ancestors.

All book orders placed through the Countryside Books On Line Bookshop will receive a discount of 10% from cover prices. This is irrespective of the total value of the order.

We've now added a WALKING DOWNLOAD feature that allows individual country walks and pub walks from some counties to be downloaded in PDF format.  Click on 'New: Walking Downloads' button for more details and follow the instructions to download PDF walks and get walking without delay.
