The Ernest Press are one of the foremost publishers of mountaineering history with acclaimed biographies of significant climbers such as Menlove Edwards, Colin Kirkus, John Cunningham and Jock Nimlin. Three of the books we have published have won the coveted Boardman Tasker Award for outstanding mountaineering literature. An Afterclap of Fate - Mallory on Everest has been short-listed for the 2006 prize. We are a sponsor of the Bretton Hall Mountain Literature Festival.

We are the UK's most prominent publisher of mountain bike guides with 19 (soon to be 20) guides in print covering most of the British Isles. All guides contain useful local information and detailed route maps. Our guides offer a mix of well graded routes with enough to suit all levels of fitness, experience and intentions. The Ernest Press Mountain Bike Guides are as much an introduction to a new area as they are quality guides that ensure a holiday or day out is enjoyable and memorable.
