Although the half the book lists accommodation and places to eat, the rest of the book gives good detail albeit short and punchy. If you think of buying this for a long read, don't. If however you want to get an insight into finding something of interest and where to visit do buy it.
Format:Paperback
How can locations such as Tarn Hows, Grizedale Forest Visitor Centre, Beatrix Potter's Hill Top, Furness Abbey, etc, etc, all be described as "Hidden Places of the Lake District"?? They are among the most popular tourist spots in the region. This and all the advertising make for a very disappointing book.

Don't Waste Your Money
23 July 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Don't be fooled by this so-called "book" -- one quarter of the space is taken up with cleverly-distinquished ads for guest houses and the like. If you didn't read the fine print, you might be fooled into thinking that the author was recommending these places, but they paid to be there.
The rest of the text is pretty basic, and not very detailed. The Rough Guide to the Lakes District is MUCH, MUCH better -- better researched, more detailed, and more objective.

Too commercial; too abbreviated
13 July 2007
Format:Paperback
I have purchased 5 books to help me with an upcoming trip to the Lake District and this is the one book I would have passed on. The book has commercial advertisements which detract from the book. Also, the restaurant and hotel recoommendations are sparce. Skip this book and buy Rough Guide instead.
