Northern Heritage

Northern Heritage cycle maps and guide books of Northumberland and Tyneside are high quality and detailed. They include road cycling, off-road tracks and challenging mountain bike routes.

As a publisher and distributor of a wide range of books and maps, Northern Heritage are focused on the North East of England. They publish and distribute historical and local-interest books, plus walking guide books and maps. Their cycling maps and guide books are particularly good.

The Northern Heritage cycle maps and guide books are researched and designed by local cycling expert, Ted Liddle.

’33 Cycle Rides’ has routes of varying types across Northumberland and the Tyne valley, while the ‘Cycle Touring Map of Northumberland’ is a comprehensive display of the wide range of routes available.
