North Lakeland Walks With Children

The 34 Lake District routes included in this book reflect the stunning diversity of landscape which characterises the region - observe birdlife from observation platforms at St Bees Head, take the Ullswater ferry to Howtown and walk back along the shore, or simply stroll around Buttermere. None of the routes is too long for very young walkers, and older children should be able to follow the clear instructions and join in the fun by leading the walk. Along the way there are informative notes on wildlife and a fascinating commentary on local and industrial history. There are questions of interest to all the family, and answers which are frequently illustrated by Christine Isherwoods' superb line drawings. This book will appeal to families with children of all ages, and will be warmly welcomed by parents of reluctant walkers!
