Jonathan and Lesley Williams have been directors of Cicerone for 25 years, now partly retired with the next generation of directors firmly established, they now enjoy increased time exploring and researching as authors. Based on the edge of the Lake District, they enjoy spending days in the hills and months in the mountains and have written or updated several Cicerone guidebooks for Switzerland and France, as well as guidebooks for areas of the UK. Although this is entirely a new guidebook, it owes much to the foundations of previous editions of the Cicerone guide to the Cotswold Way written by Kev Reynolds. Kev Reynolds was a prolific author of guidebooks for Cicerone Press. Although most of his guides were devoted to mountain regions such as the Alps, Pyrenees and Himalaya, he considered the gentler landscapes of the English countryside to be no second best. His passion for mountains in particular and the countryside in general remained undiminished after a lifetimes activity, until his death in 2021.
