A stone wall along Seneca Street in East Aurora, New York, welcomes
visitors to Knox Farm State Park with its charming buildings,
woodlands, and open fields. The farmland was purchased by Seymour
H. Knox, an entrepreneur from Russell, New York. Successful in the
five-and-dime store industry with his cousin F.W. Woolworth, Knox
expanded his business interests to include raising horses and
developing a self-sustaining farm. Following his death in 1915, his
family maintained and expanded the property, gracing it with
architectural features reflecting their interests. In the 1990s,
with the passing of Seymour Knox II and sons, the family's desire
to preserve the beloved property was fulfilled with the
establishment of Knox Farm State Park.
This guide describes ascents of 25 Lake District fells that can be
climbed from Langdale and the Vale of Grasmere. Easily accessible
from the popular bases of Grasmere and Ambleside, this area offers
stunning scenery and fantastic walking, from the 'small but
perfectly made' Loughrigg - ideal for a Sunday afternoon hike - to
eye-catching Helm Crag ('the Lion and the Lamb'), from the lofty
heights of Bowfell to the iconic Langdale Pikes. England's highest
mountain, Scafell Pike, is also included in this volume. Unlike
other guidebooks which describe a single or limited number of
routes to a particular destination, the aim of the Walking the Lake
District Fells series is to offer all the options. These are
presented as numbered sections which can be combined to create
infinite possibilities - from simple ascents to longer ridge
routes. You'll find the classics and popular routes alongside less
traditional alternatives perfect for the wandering spirit. The
series gives you both the freedom to devise your own routes and the
information to make informed decisions, thanks to the clear
descriptions of the routes, terrain, hazards, interesting features
and safe descent paths should the weather close in. Also included
are a handful of classic ridge routes for longer fell days. Mark
Richards' inimitable text is complemented by HARVEY mapping and the
author's own beautiful sketch topos and panoramas. Perfect for keen
hillwalkers and peak-baggers alike and ideal both for pre-planning
and use on the hill, Walking the Lake District Fells is the new
incarnation of the Fellranger series, which sees the volumes
updated and trimmed to a more practical size. These true
connoisseurs' guides are sure to inspire you to get out and explore
the beautiful fells of Lakeland.
Each page features a normal view as well as an bird’s-eye view of
each of Cape Town’s most iconic sites and attractions, with an
extended caption for each attraction.
