The Companion Guide to the Lake District

'Unimprovably good' JOHN LANCHESTER LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS There is hardly a stone in the Lake District that Frank Welsh leaves unturned. From the particular delights of the places with which the Lake Poets are associated - Dove Cottage Grasmere Buttermere Cockermouth - to the remoter parts of the Eden Valley and Furness over the fells beside the lakes through history topography archaeology literature geology and even bakery Frank Welsh is the consummate guide and companion writing with wit intelligence and true skill. He covers both the less visited and in the author's view unappreciated parts of the Lake District as well as those which no visitor will want to miss.
