Amazon.co.uk Review
The Lake District is an usual subject for a Rough Guide: it isn't the usual exotic location that springs to mind. This new addition to the series is, however, a useful resource for the rucksack brigade, the 16 million people who visit Cumbria's national park every year.
The Lake District is an usual subject for a Rough Guide: it isn't the usual exotic location that springs to mind. This new addition to the series is, however, a useful resource for the rucksack brigade, the 16 million people who visit Cumbria's national park every year.
Popularised by writers such as William Wordsworth, John Ruskin and children's favourite Beatrix Potter, The Lake District continues to attract walkers, climbers (the area is home to England's highest mountain Scafel l Pike) and lovers of the great outdoors. As you would expect from a Rough Guide, there's a detailed list of B&B, youth hostel and camping site accommodation. The book provides hints and advice on outdoor sports, including advice on cycle hire, suggested walks for hikers and bus route information for cheaters.
What if wandering lonely as a cloud isn't your cup of tea? Brown admits "if hiking and the great outdoors aren't your bag, it's tempting to say that you're on the wrong holiday". Yet he gives information on the pubs, restaurants and historic houses to visit when you're not in the great outdoors. Brown gently debunks in a kindly manner the romantic, teashop image of the Lake District, (in the summer months expect a swarm of tourists), whilst writing an honest and useful guide to one of Britain's most beautiful areas. --Anna Hornsey
