Walking in Ticino

Andrew Beattie has been writing and travelling ever since he left Oxford University with a degree in Geography. He has a long-standing interest in the Alps and in 2000 he co-wrote a book on Ticino which to this day remains the only general guidebook in English published on the region. He is also the author of a cultural-historical guide to the Alps published by Signal Books. Away from the Alps, his writing has taken him to many other parts of Europe, as well as the Middle East he has worked on books in the Rough Guides series on Switzerland, Germany and Syria, while other books for Signal include cultural-historical guides to Prague, Cairo, the River Danube and the Scottish Highlands. His website www.andrewbeattie.me.uk includes galleries of photos taken for these books and for Cicerone's Walking in Ticino.
