This guidebook offers 30 delightful but low-level graded day walks in
the valleys, beside the lakes and on the low fells of the English Lake
District, suitable for walkers of all abilities. Walkers who know the
Lakes well may have missed some of the lower gems covered here and the
gentler charms of the dales, woodlands and lakeside paths; newcomers
will find gentle strolls and straightforward introductions to the lower
fells. From delightful wooded glades and sparkling tarns hidden in green
folds on the hillside to tumultuous waterfalls and glacier-carved
valleys towered over by craggy mountains, this guide aims to seek out
the best that the lower areas of the Lake District have to offer. It
visits fascinating historical sights, completes circuits of some of the
most striking lakes and climbs several smaller fells for breathtaking
views. Each route is described step by step with inspiring photographs,
OS map extracts and lots of extra information about local history and
wildlife.
