A Northumberland author's book has been reprinted ahead of Christmas after proving a hit with readers in the county.
Northumberland Rocks by Ian Jackson was first printed at the end of 2021 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Northumberland Wildlife Trust. Charity trustee and geologist Jackson chose 50 rock sites across the county to tell its geological history over the last 425 million years.
He aims to explain the reason for the region's outstanding scenery and landscape, while even diving into the urban geology of central Newcastle and of course, the Great Whin Sill. Sold at bookshops throughout the region, it has been an unexpected hit, with visitors from the USA and Asia reported to have picked up the book as a keepsake of their trip to the North East; as well as gaining plenty of local interest.
