Railway Walks in the Lake District Guidebook

author: Peter Naldrett
This collection of 20 fabulous Lake district Walks enables you to explore the railway heritage of the region, both old and new. Including current and historic photographs of Cumbria's network of railway lines, follow the routes from train stations to discover both amazing views and a wealth of information about times gone by.

There are fine routes near the Ravenglass and Haverthwaite heritage railways, where you will be listening to the nostalgic whistle od a steam train as you set off into the hills. You can learn all about disused lines and stations that stand abandoned following the Beeching Axe of the 1960's. And, of course, you can use public transport to discover the train lines still in use, with walks from the coastal stations and the likes of Windermere as well. This guidebook is an engaging and inspirational way to explore Cumbria's wonderful landscape.

Each of the walk chapters includes information about the railway's history. A fact panel gives practical information, including length, getting to the start, time, refreshment options, difficulty, and OS Explorer map sheet number. The route-finding instructions are clear and are supported by a detailed sketch map.

The walks are organised into sections, each relating to a specific railway. For full details of the route locations click the link below the 'Add to Cart' button.
