Product Description
Product Description
"South Lakeland Walks with Children" is a book for parents whose children may not be as keen to go walking as they are. South Lakeland offers some spectacular walking country; with gentle fells and lush valleys, excellent panoramic views, good tourist amenities and plenty to amuse the children. The twenty circular and varied walks are spread across the whole of the Southern Lakes. Each one has been researched and written with children in mind; with many places of interest along the way. The routes vary in length, but feature 'Escape Routes' at various points along the way, so they can be tailored to suit the needs, time and energy of each family. Clear, concise, yet thorough directions are given, along with listings of toilets and baby changing facilities where available. The book contains a text of interest to children and includes various features to keep them occupied and aware of their surroundings. Some of the routes can be adapted to be pushchair friendly.

This book is with out a doubt one of the most useful I have ever purchased. This book is invaluable to any parent who wants to introduce their children to the great outdoors but can't face the tears! There are walks for all levels (including push chairs) the activities will keep even the most persistant junior coach potato amused. The walks featured (and I have tried most) are suitable for mixed ability and age groups. This book has without a doubt increased my enjoyment of this beautiful part of England.

I love this series of books as they have made such a difference to my family holidays and weekends. The walks themselves are breath-taking, but most important are the checklists and activities that keep the children running around and occupied. This book is over a decade old now, though the only significant changes we've encountered have been in forested areas - which I'd expect as all Lakeland forests are living/working forests, so they can change from week to week. You should always carry a current OS map anyway when walking, so you shouldn't have any problems. A great book.

This is a review of the edition printed in 2009
We attempted 2 walks and then abandoned using it
The first had glaring errors, however we accepted this as one of those things and so having had a pretty poor walk tried another
The second walk took us 2/3 of the way round a circular route to be met with a footpath notice declaring it had been decommissioned in 2007, ie. two years earlier than our edition of the book, with no obvious detour available we gave up
I cannot recommend this book and suggest you buy one which is more up to date
Naively we thought its content would be current and reliable, it is not
