LOST IN THE LAKES (HB)

From Penrith to Ullswater, via Keswick, Cockermouth, Coniston, Grasmere and Windermere, plus all the places in between, Tom Chesshyre puts on his walking boots and sets forth, drawn by the dramatic scenery that attracts more than 19 million visitors each year. Across landscape that inspired the Romantic poets, he takes in remote parts of the parkland that many tourists miss - enjoying encounters with farmers, fell runners and fellow hikers, while staying in shepherds’ huts, bothies and old climbers’ hotels along the way, and even going for a (chilly) dip in Derwentwater.
