BOOK DESCRIPTION
- 24 circular walks from 12 villages throughout the Lake District, with two walks of varying lengths from each village, including a mountain walk and a lower level valley walk – ideal for a weekend break!
- Written by highly acclaimed outdoor writer Mark Reid, who has combined his knowledge of the villages, pubs and footpaths of Lakeland to create this new and unique book.
- Many people enjoy going away for a weekend, staying at a traditional Lakeland pub and then using the pub as a base from which to explore the surrounding countryside on foot.
- This new guidebook makes this weekend away experience a whole lot easier with details of where to stay, local inns, background information, historical points of interest and two walks from each of the villages.
- Featured villages : Ambleside, Boot, Braithwaite, Buttermere, Coniston, Glenridding, Grasmere, Great Langdale, Keswick, Patterdale, Rosthwaite and Wasdale.
- 12 pen & ink drawings, 24 hand-drawn maps and a 4-page colour photograph insert.
The heavy rain of November 2009 caused flood damage to some footpaths and bridges in the Lake District, particularly in the north and western lakes (Borrowdale, Keswick, Braithwaite and Buttermere areas).
