Established in 1927, we are a leading magazine and book publisher in the countryside sector, based in a stunning water mill conversion at Broughton Hall near Skipton, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.

Our small format magazines are widely respected for their insight in to the history, traditions landscape and people of the areas they cover. Our regional titles are The Dalesman, Cumbria and Down Your Way. Our national title is The Countryman. These are largely subscription based but are also available on newsstands throughout the UK.

Our extensive book publishing programme covers the outdoors, landscape, humour and nostalgia and features well known authors such as Sir Bernard Ingham, Gervase Phinn, Ashley Jackson, Lord Healey, and Sir Chris Bonington.

Our Yorkshire Rural Awards initiative, launched by Alan Titchmarsh in 2007, has become firmly established as a highlight of the Yorkshire Rural calendar.
