First look: Between the Sunset and the Sea by Simon Ingram

12 Mar 2015 — 1 min read

A beautiful hardback book landed on my desk this afternoon. Between the Sunset and the Sea by Simon Ingram (from £13.59) was published today and offers a detailed look at sixteen of the UK’s mountains and hills through prose, history, story, and photography.

The mountains are:

Beinn Dearg
The Black Mountain
Cadair Idris
Crib Goch
Cnicht
Cross Fell
Schiehallion
Ben Loyal
An Teallach
The Assynt Hills
Askival
Ladhar Bheinn
Loughrigg Fell
Great Gable
Ben Macdui
Ben Nevis

As I flip through, I can see that the book is characterised by gorgeous typography and some excellent black and white photographs. I’ll be reading Between the Sunset and the Sea and reviewing it shortly. In the meantime you can order your copy from Amazon or Waterstones. It is available as an ebook from both stores.
