Special as much for its scenic beauty as for the literary and artistic creativity it has inspired, the lake District is one of the best known places in Britain – or is it?



Hunter Davies walked among its mountains and valleys and rediscovered what he thought he knew welll. In A Walk Around the Lakes he retells his long and extraordinary journey, recapturing the varied beauty of the land and the people he met along the way. Using Wordsworth himself as a second narrative, he offers a complete and alluring appreciation of the Lake District and its great heritage past and present, whether you are walking or not.

An alluring appreciation of the Lake District and its heritage. - Grange Now!

Hunter's account has retained its sparkle and high interest level. If you haven't already read this book, it is one well worth adding to your book shelves. - Keswick Reminder

You do not have to be a walker to appreciate this illuminating and amusing book. The prose crackles with wit and colour, creating a fine account of an inspiring part of England. - Sunday Telegraph
