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.
Please note: the compass bearings quoted in the Ambleside Saturday Walk (Fairfield) are 'grid' bearings, and so adjustment must be made for Grid Magnetic Angle (magnetic variation).
