A hikers paradise.The Rough Guide is the most complete general handbook available on the Lake District, offering an unparalleled overview of the region; the major tourist spots and the lesser known pockets, info and advice (maps and safety) on the major hiking trails, the best places to eat and stay and coverage of the area's literary heritage from Wordsworth and Coleridge to Beatrix Potter and Melvyn Bragg.
