Short Walks

Easier walks, walks for children and shorter walks
Beatrix Potter Country - a cycling, walking and car tour

Beatrix Potter Country - a cycling, walking and car tour

Sean Frain
£8.99

Beatrix Potter Country features one continuous tour split into stages for the more adventurous, as well as short walks in each area associated with Beatrix Potter and her work, which will be suitable for families. The tour is split into seperate sections for convenience, to enable those who wish to do each leg of the tour during seperate visits to the Lakes. At the end of the book there is a quick route finder, which simply describes the route of the tour without additional information. At the end of each section a short family walk is included. The route of the tour is low level, as this was how Beatrix Potter saw the area - she was no fell walker. William Wordsworth also mostly saw the Lakes from low level routes.

Easy Walks to Lake District Views

Easy Walks to Lake District Views

Mike Patefield
£9.99

Walking in the Lake District is inherently rewarding with magnificent views almost everywhere you go. The best views are not necessarily from the highest mountains. Many excellent views of the lakes and mountains may be reached with easy walks. Indeed the best views of the high mountains come from looking up to them and views of lakes are frequently at their best when looking down on them, after a relatively easy climb. This book features twenty walks to viewpoints throughout the Lake District. They are graded from very easy, to fairly easy and then not as easy. Each has a full description of the route, including a sketch map and points of interest.
