  A guidebook of 60 short walks in the south of the English Lake District, the first of a three-part series covering the whole of Lakeland. This guide divides the South Lake District into four regions: the Central Fells, the area around Coniston Water and Windermere, the Eastern Fells and Dales, and the Limestone Fringe. 60 short walks are described, generally between 4 and 9 miles, enough to pleasantly fill a good half-day, and ideal for day visitors or family walkers. Some longer walks could be split, others combined. It is not a high fell walking guide, although several popular summits are included. Interesting features are pointed out along the way, and the hand-drawn maps include relevant walk details. The combination of detailed description and clear, easy-to-follow maps and evocative sketches makes this book ideal for anyone who wants to explore Lakeland.
