“Though the Lake District is rich in literary associations, it has always inspired those who love it to walk and climb, as well as to paint and write.  The most famous of the poets who sang its praises, William Wordsworth, was also a prodigious walker.  This book which records the unsurpassed beauties of fell and dale is, above all, a book for those who would like to see the landscape for themselves.
Walter Poucher has borne in mind three kinds of fell-walker; the elderly, who enjoy walking provided that the path has no step gradients; the young and energetic, for whom he indicates the most rewarding tougher climbs; and the photographer who wishes to try his hand at capturing the views from summit cairn or lake shore.”
