Stephen Neale

Stephen Neale is an award-winning journalist, author and adventurer. He is obsessed with camping, walking, boats and fishing and spends much of his time navigating rivers, walking trails and setting up camp in the wilderness. His books include the revolutionary and bestselling Wild Camping, as well as Camping by the Waterside, The England Coast Path and The South West Coast Path, all published by Conway. His writing on the nature, landscape and histories of Essex has received multiple awards, including the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild Prize for Digital Production of the Year (2016).

Stephen’s walking guides are gorgeous and inspiring books which highlight 1,000 mini adventures to enjoy along some of the most awe-inspiring of the UK’s trails. The England Coast Path and The South West Coast Path (the first two titles in the series) are perfect for everyone from locals and tourists who want to find a coastal pub, to thrill seekers or bird watchers who want to spend a year or a week exploring secret locations around the coast. These are books that will appeal to anyone with a love of the coast and who wants to find out more about it, in a bite-sized attractive format. Readers of the Ramblers’ Walk magazine have voted The South West Coast Path ‘Britain's Best Walking Route’ twice in a row and the path often features in lists of the world's best walk. Building on their success, the books are regularly updated with extra paths and spectacular new photography, and two new titles have been commissioned.
