Lunesdale Walking Country Guidebook

by: Paul Hannon
The scenic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale sits at the heart of the Lune Valley, a superb walking area where the Yorkshire Dales meets Cumbria and Lancashire. This guide contains 12 delectable walks, concisely described and illustrated, leading to every corner of this immensely colourful landscape. Explore the Lune from Middleton Fells to Crook o'Lune, from rolling hills and deep valleys to wide, wooded riverbanks. Discover charming villages such as Barbon, Wray Melling and Casterton, and the River Wenning to Bentham and the fringe of Bowland.

Each walk is self-contained, with essential information being followed by a concise route description and simple map. Dovetailed in between are notes and illustrations of features along the way. Snippets of information have been printed in italics to clearly separate them from the essential route description. Basic sketch maps are included, but we would recommend using an OS Explorer map to supplement the guide, providing an improved picture of your surroundings and the availability of linking paths. OS Explorer sheets OL2 and OL41 cover the walks in this guide
