This book explains to the hillwalker, in easy to understand but
accurate terms, how geology has shaped the landscape of the Lake
District. A selection of fifteen guided walks is used to illustrate
this in terms of what can be seen on the ground. "Rock Trails
Lakeland", divided into two parts, is intended to help those who
love the Lake District's mountain scenery to understand how this
beautiful landscape came about. The first half narrates the story
of colliding continents, volcanoes, mountain-building and
glaciations in creating the Lakeland, explaining why volcanoes
occurred, the rocks they created and how to interpret signs of
mountain-building and glaciations on the ground. The second half
describes recommended walks of differing levels of difficulty, all
with a wide variety of geological features to be seen and, most
important, with consistently fantastic views of the very best of
the Lake District's wonderful scenery. The author has concentrated
on what you can see as you walk around the hills, highlighting
conspicuous, easily visible features in rocks as well as the
overall shape of the terrain while accounting for the present-day
landscape. This is the second book in the series from Pesda Press,
following the publication in 2008 of "Rock Trails Snowdonia"
(9781906095048).
