The characteristic landscape of the Lake District is influenced by
its geology. The huge array of different rocks found there
determines the shape and appearance of the fells and dales. Also,
as the dominant building material in the region, rocks impact both
the local architecture and the economy through quarrying. A simple
easy-to-read guide to the rocks of the English Lake District, with
nearly 200 colour illustrations including diagrams, maps and
photographs, this book provides an understanding of the main types
of rock and characterizes over sixty of the most common rocks. It
describes where to find them and how to recognise them in the
landscape. Details are given of the use of rocks in local buildings
and how the rocks are still quarried today, and finally, their
importance to the local economy.
