60 Books on Wild Britain

60 Books on Wild Britain

Britain is the birthplace of some of the greatest writing the world has to offer and it can be of little doubt, that much of this is due to the incredible wild landscapes our island nation has to offer.

Wuthering Heights grew from the desolate Yorkshire Moors just as Rebecca rose, and was obscured, by the wild Atlantic seas battering the harsh granite coastline of the Cornish Wilds.

At Books of the Wild Moor, we celebrate these incredible landscapes and the windswept stories they inspire. To help connect you with great books, we have released guide to 60 great fiction and non-fiction books that define the wildness of Britain. The list features some of the best British nature writing, atmospheric books set in Britain and great gothic novels.

A white sheep with a black face stands on a rocky, heather-covered hillside in a dark, moody landscape with rolling green and brown fields in the background.

Divided between 7 wild landscapes, the collection features some incredible recommendations - some you will know, others hidden gems. The landscapes include:

Moors - books set in the Yorkshire Moors

Coast & Sea - novels set on the Cornish coast

Lakes & North West - books set inspired by the Lake District and beyond

This is the perfect list of books for people who love the outdoors and has great ideas of gifts for literary lovers.

You can also find out more about our first two literary landscapes - Cornish Wilds and Yorkshire Moors - by visiting our Landscapes page.
