Where to go What to do
Take an overview of the Lakes and Cumbria region. Over a hundred attractions and places of interest at a glance though by no means everything the Lakes has to offer.
Plan your stay, don’t waste a day!
Rainy days and Sundays...
Two pages of places to go when the weather’s wet, wet, wet. And you’ll be surprised at some of the places we suggest!
Land of the Lakes
Beautiful big photographs are a feature of our lakes lists and our favourite views this issue are of Ullswater and Tarn Hows. Get an overview of all 18 stretches of water in the Lake District.
Ladies of the Lakes
No, we haven’t gone all tabloid, we’re looking at the little boats and big ships plying the loveliest lakes in England. These wonderful vessels provide a marvellous way to view the mountains and lakeshores and give great photo opportunities. Our favourite trip - Glenridding to Howtown and a walk back to the village.
Mountains of the Lakes
Our 26 page section about the mountains of the Lake District lists the Wainwright Fell Tops in this issue. Alfred Wainwright is acknowledged as the writer of the best guides to the Lakeland fells and we list them all in the order they appear in his seven magnificent tomes.
There are also five walks around Newlands Valley outside of Keswick from Steve Goodier and a closer look at the top ten fells. By the way, think again about leaving your car in the lanes around Catbells next time you go climbing. The beautiful landscape has been blighted with a plague of ‘go away’ yellow lines!
And if you ever wondered why there are so many memorials on Helvellyn you’ll find out on page 22. Illustrated fell walks, mostly easy, feature throughout the book.
It’s up to you to take good care of yourself so you’ll find the Mountain Safety section useful! Don’t get yourself into trouble, like the chap who left his tent in the dark for a wee and couldn’t find it again!!! He had to call out the mountain rescue. Dear oh dear.
From the Grave
There’s more to this corner of Grasmere than first meets the eye! Meet Wordsworth’s friends and family. You couldn’t make it up!
Drive
Sixteen pages of drives across the length and breadth of the Lake District and hints and tips on where to go - what to do. Why struggle trying to work out the best routes when they’re here in one section with easy to follow outline route maps.
Remember the roads get very busy in the ‘hot spots’ around Grasmere, Ambleside and Bowness so consider using some of the local bus services or follow our ‘greater Cumbria’ routes. Open topped buses travel regularly between Grasmere and Bowness and occasionally down Borrowdale.
Cumbria on a Plate
Annette Gibbons operates food safaris around Cumbria. We take a look at some of the places she visits and list some of her favourite foodie places. There is a profusion of places growing selling and serving home produced fayre. Why buy something that’s been travelling for goodness knows how long for thousands of miles when you can get fresh food from the source - here in Cumbria.
Curious Cumbria
There seems to be a monument or memorial around every corner. Here are some that you won’t see from your car.
The Gazetteer Section
