A Walk Around The Lakes

A Visit To Britain's Lake District

The Lake District is perhaps the most loved and most visited area of Britain. Hunter Davies spent a year walking round the Lakes, beginning on the Windemere ferry and ending at Rydal and Grasmere, climbing the mountains, exploring the valleys and visiting the towns and villages. This book is an exploration of the past, looking at the lives of the many famous people associated with the District, in particular the Lake poets: Coleridge, de Quincey and William Wordsworth.
