Waterside Walks in the Lake District Guidebook

by: Colin Shelbourn
Beneath and between the famous fells, gentler but equally attractive scenery awaits the discerning walker, with no less than 16 beautiful lakes and over 400 tranquil tarns, complemented by hundreds of tiny streams, rushing rivers and wild waterfalls. Colin Shelbourn has devised 27 superb routes that take his readers alongside, above and in some cases, even walking through water. They range from short strolls to a 16km (10 mile) circular walk around Derwent Water. Whatever the length or location you choose, you'll meet with stunning scenery, a richness of wildlife, and many interesting places to visit.

Comprehensive information is provided on public transport around the Lake District as well as essential information at the beginning of each walk for easy reference. Also, for each walk, there are details of visitor attractions that can ensure a successful day in the countryside, especially important for family outings.

The walk locations are: Spout Force; The Howk, Caldbeck; Stockghyll; Aira Force; Mill Beck, Buttermere; Finsthwaite Tarn; Lanty's Tarn; Tarn Hows; Stanley Force and River Esk; River Greta; River Derwent and Tongue Gill; Easedale Tarn; Levers Water and Church Beck; River Lowther; Taylorgill Force and Sprinkling Tarn; Coniston Water (south west shore); Buttermere; Loweswater; Thirlmere and Harrop Tarn; Rydal Water and Grasmere; Elterwater; Ullswater (south east shore); Crummock Water; Derwent Water; Morecambe Bay.
