Short Walks in Lakeland Book 2: North Lakeland

£12.95

Aileen and Brian Evans’ practical Cicerone guide to North Lakeland is a comprehensive introduction to walking the lower fells of the beautiful Lake District. Dividing North Lakeland into six areas – Borrowdale, the northern fells, Patterdale and Ullswater, Newlands and the north-west, Thirlmere and the eastern fells and dales, the authors have produced a detailed volume on one of Britain’s most favourite walking destinations. There are 57 short walks described between 4 and 8 miles, enough to fill a day and ideal for day visitors or family walkers.

Some longer walks can be split; others combined. It is not suitable for those interested in high level fell walking; instead priority is given to the lower fells and dales, which are as rewarding as their higher brethren. Detailed route descriptions and precise hand drawn maps and evocative sketches make this volume ideal for anyone who wants to explore south Lakeland.
