Buttermere and Crummock Water - 10 Leisure Walks

by: Keith Wood
The twin lakes of Buttermere and Crummock Water are situated at the bottom of a steep sided valley surrounded by a terrific array of high peaks. This landscape makes for a walker's paradise, although some steep valley sides and some of the highest peaks are outside the scope of this book of leisure walks. The selection chosen are suitable for all ages and abilities and are graded from 'Easy' to 'More Challenging', from short valley walks, to a taster of Lake District fell walking.

The guide gives details of distance, height ascended and type of terrain covered. Clear route directions are provided together with simple sketch maps. One of the features that make the 'Boot Up' series of guides so attractive is the emphasis on good landscape photography and the book is well illustrated throughout with colour photographs. The handy size also means it will slip easily into your pocket, protected by the tough cover.
