Short walks in Lakeland - Aileen Evans

This guidebook of 57 short walks in the Lake District is the second in the Short Walks in Lakeland trilogy, covering the entire Lake District. This guidebook divides the north Lakeland region into six sections: Borrowdale, the Northern Fells, Thirlmere, Newlands and the northwest, Patterdale and Ullswater, and the Eastern Fells and Dales. The guide comprises 57 walks, generally between 4 and 8 miles, enough to fill a good half day or provide a leisurely full day, and ideal for day visitors or family walkers. It is not a high fell walking guide, although many worthwhile summits are included. Priority is given to the lower fells and dales. Interesting features are pointed out along the way, and the hand-drawn maps include relevant walk details. The combination of detailed description and clear, easy-to-follow maps and evocative sketches makes this book ideal for anyone who wants to explore Lakeland.
