Cicerone (publisher)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cicerone is an English publisher specialising in guidebooks for walkers, climbers, trekkers and cyclists. The company's first publication was a climbing guide to the English Lake District, and their focus is mainly on Europe and in particular the British Isles: as of January 2014 their website lists, among others, seven books covering the Americas, and six on Austria, compared to 28 on the English Lake District and 47 on Scotland.[1] The company was founded in 1967 and is based in Milnthorpe, Cumbria, a few miles south of the Lake District.

In 2008 readers of Walk Magazine, published by the Ramblers' Association, voted Cicerone guides into first place in the "Best Walking Book" category of their annual "Top Gear Awards".[2]
