Cicerone (publisher)

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 over the past 50 years they have published a range of guidebooks covering walking, trekking and cycling around the world. [1] The company was founded in 1969 in Milnthorpe, Cumbria, a few miles south of the Lake District, moving premises to Kendal in 2017. The founders were Walt Unsworth (died 6 June 2017) and Brian Evans and their wives.[2]

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".[3]
