detailed maps. Route descriptions, historical quotations

popular villages such as Rydal, Grasmere and Elterwater,
famed for their literary connections, as well as the 44
traditional Lakeland pubs along the way.Through hand
drawn maps, with practical information about
accommodation, services, public transport, and the ales
in the hostelries along ''The Inn Way...to the English
Lake District'', Mark Reid's newly revised guide gives
all of the information needed to appreciate and enjoy
the geology, wildlife and history encountered along this
six day walk. Above all, the book contains a wealth of
history, folklore and perceptive commentary that will
help bring the landscape to life. ''The Inn Way...to the
English Lake District'' captures the very essence of
Lakeland, from the majestic mountains to the lush
valleys, serene lakes, beautiful villages and cosy pubs.
