Fogle has written six books; The Teatime Islands in search of the remaining islands in the British Empire in which he travels to Saint Helena, Ascension Island, the Falkland Islands, the British Indian Ocean Territories and Tristan da Cunha. He also tried to visit Pitcairn Island by private yacht, but when the inhabitants learned that he was a journalist they refused to let him land. Fogle claims that they suspected that he was a spy, and after six hours of interrogation he was refused permission to visit and deported. He was also accused of attempting to smuggle a breadfruit on to the island. The book was short-listed for the W H Smith's people's award for Best Travel Book. He has also written Offshore (2006), published by Penguin Books, in which he travelled around Britain in search of an island of his own.

In 2016 Land Rover: The Story of the Car that Conquered the World was published, written by Fogle. His most recent book, English, published in 2017, takes the reader on a journey through the peculiarly English, paying tribute to the history, culture and ideas adopted with such gusto that they have become part of the fabric of the country.
