Northumberland: The Story of Climbing in the County is the most complete record ever produced of this overlooked but deeply cherished corner of British climbing. Whether you’re a seasoned climber, a lover of outdoor photography, or simply drawn to the rugged beauty of Northumberland, this book offers a lasting journey through stone and time.
This landmark coffee-table book celebrates more than a century of rock climbing in one of Britain’s wildest landscapes, known to climbers simply as “The County.” Now, for the first time, its full climbing history has been brought together in a richly illustrated and deeply researched volume: Northumberland – The Story of Climbing in the County.
Written by Steve Blake and John Spencer, and illustrated with photographs by award-winning photographer Mark Savage, the book is both a comprehensive history and a love letter to a unique landscape and the people who shaped it. It explores not only the routes and achievements but also the traditions, community, and understated spirit that make climbing in Northumberland unlike anywhere else.
Mark Savage’s extraordinary photographs, taken over more than two decades, capture the essence of climbing in Northumberland with rare intimacy and atmosphere. From bold ascents on remote sandstone outcrops to solitary moments of stillness in the hills, his images reveal not just what climbing here looks like, but what it feels like to be there.
The book takes you on a journey through Northumberland: eastwards along Hadrian’s Wall, then up through the central crags before reaching the granite crags of the Cheviot Hills and the sandstone outcrops scattered throughout the north. It also includes chapters on the coastal crags, the area’s geology, and the archaeological history of the rock.
