This book helps discover the Lake District from a whole new perspective! Colin Shelbourn has put together 25 stunning waterside walks for your enjoyment, from the abundance of lakes, tarns, becks, rivers and waterfalls in this ever-popular walking region. They have a wide-ranging appeal, from walks along the shores of some of the most beautiful lakes to strolls beside rushing rivers and wild waterfalls. You can choose from a short stroll to a 16km (10ml) circular walk around the Queen of the Lakes, Derwent Water. Whatever the length or location you choose you'll meet with stunning scenery, a richness of wildlife, and many interesting places to visit, often a welcome distraction from the rudiments of pure walking. The colour photographs are magnificent, reflecting the beauty of the area through the seasons; the maps are exceptionally clear and easy to read; and, the additional fascinating facts add to the enjoyment of each walk leading you along, around and in some cases, even through water.
