A Walk Around the Lakes

Hunter Davies

– A Visit to Britain’s Lake District –

“The Lake District is perhaps the most loved and most visited area of Britain. Hunter Davies spent a year walking around the Lakes, beginning on the Windermere ferry and ending at Rydal and Grasmere. He climbed the mountains, explored the valleys and visited the towns and villages.

A Walk Around the Lakes has many recommendations for the visitor, based on Davies’s experiences. But the book is also an exploration of the past. During his tour, Davies looks at the lives of the many famous people associated with the Lake District, such as Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin and, of course, the Lake Poets: Coleridge, De Quincey and William Wordsworth.
He visits the places these poets knew and loved, and recreates Wordsworth’s life as he progresses on his own journey. The result is an informative and hugely enjoyable study, which is part travelogue, part literature and part guide-book to this beautiful area.”
