In 2017 the English Lake District was awarded World Heritage status
by UNESCO as a "cultural landscape" of global significance; a
landscape gifted by Nature and modified by the activities of
humankind to create a very distinctive and special place.The famous
English landscape painter John Constable once said "We see nothing
truly until we understand it". This suggests that gaining some
understanding of why Lake District landscapes look as beautiful as
they do will enable us see them more clearly and have our enjoyment
of them enriched. To provide a beginning to this understanding is
what this book is all about. Readers are taken to 22 prominent
viewpoints around the World Heritage Site, all with an historical,
Norse-derived name of 'how' or 'knott'. Then, whether sitting on a
rock at the viewpoint or sitting in an armchair at home (with an
online panorama to assist), the guide relates the historical story
of the view - how the key features came about and how they may
change in the future in response to new environmental challenges.
After reading this book, readers will have enjoyed the beauties and
story of the Lake District's acclaimed landscapes, and quite
probably will not look at them again in quite the same way.
