Lakeland: A Personal Journey by Hunter Davies
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 27.3 MB
Overview: ‘I don’t know any tract of land in which in so narrow a compass may be found an equal variety of sublime and beautiful features’. So said the poet Wordsworth of England’s Lake District, an area as rich in cultural associations as it is in beautiful scenery.
Hunter Davies, who has spent every summer in the Lake District for nearly half a century, takes the reader on an engaging, informative and affectionate tour of the lakes, fells, traditions, denizens and history of England’s most popular tourist destination.
From the first discovery of Lakeland as a tourist destination in the 18th century, to the tale of the Maid of Buttermere, to the poet Coleridge’s ascent of Scafell Pike in 1802, to such enduring local traditions as Cumberland wrestling and hound trailing, Hunter Davies brings England’s Lake District memorably and informatively to life.
