Comprehensive guide to the Lake District, fully revised and updated.
Unimprovably good JOHN LANCHESTER, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
There is hardly a stone in the Lake District that Frank Welsh leaves
unturned. From the particular delights of the places with which the Lake
Poets are associated - Dove Cottage, Grasmere, Buttermere, Cockermouth -
to the remoter parts of the Eden Valley and Furness, over the fells,
beside the lakes, through history, topography, archaeology, literature,
geology and even bakery, Frank Welsh is the consummate guide and
companion, writing with wit, intelligence and true skill. He covers both
the less visited, and, in the author's view, unappreciated, parts of the
Lake District, as well as those which no visitor will want to miss.
