"The Inn Way...to the English Lake District": 90 miles, 7 days, 44
pubs. First published in 1998 when it was picked out as "The Sunday
Times" 'Travel Book of the Week' and awarded 'Highly Commended' in
the Lakeland Book of the Year awards, "The Inn Way...to the English
Lake District" has been rewalked, revised and updated for this new
2nd Edition, which is published in spring 2011. "The Inn Way...to
the English Lake District" charts a 7 day circular walk through the
heart of the Lake District, covering 90 miles (145-km) of paths and
passing 44 Lakeland inns along the way. This book is the complete
and unique guide to this highly-acclaimed long distance circular
walk through the English Lake District. This book is much more than
the sum of its detailed maps. Route descriptions, historical
quotations and well-researched background describe the area
including the remote and beautiful Western Lakes, popular villages
such as Rydal, Grasmere and Elterwater, famed for their literary
connections, as well as the 44 traditional Lakeland pubs along the
way. Through hand drawn maps, with practical information about
accommodation, services, public transport, and the ales in the
hostelries along "The Inn Way...to the English Lake District", Mark
Reid's newly revised guide gives all of the information needed to
appreciate and enjoy the geology, wildlife and history encountered
along this six day walk. Above all, the book contains a wealth of
history, folklore and perceptive commentary that will help bring
the landscape to life. "The Inn Way...to the English Lake District"
captures the very essence of Lakeland, from the majestic mountains
to the lush valleys, serene lakes, beautiful villages and cosy
pubs. The walking route starts and finishes at Ambleside, with
suggested overnight stops at Rosthwaite, Braithwaite, Buttermere,
Boot, Broughton-in-Furness and Coniston.
This is the revised and updated 2nd Edition of Mark Reid's "The Inn
Way...to the Peak District" which charts a 6-day circular walk
throughout the Peak District, covering 84 miles and passing 51
great country pubs along the way. Includes information on history,
geography, places of interest, traditional inns, routes and maps.
This long distance circular walking route takes in the very best of
the Peak District from the wilds of Kinder Scout to the dramatic
Eastern Edges, gentle pastoral landscape of Chatsworth and the
beautiful limestone dales of the White Peak. Starting and finishing
at Hayfield, Stage One of this walking route skirts around Kinder
Scout then heads through the Woodlands Valley to Hathersage. Stage
Two traces the Eastern Edges southwards high above the Derwent
Valley to reach Baslow. Stage Three is gentler, with a stroll
through Chatsworth Park then across the mystical landscape of
Stanton Moor to Youlgrave. Stage Four heads up through the
beautiful limestone valleys of the White Peak to Tideswell. Stage
Five explores Eyam before heading over to Castleton. Stage Six
traverses the famous Great Ridge over to Edale and then follows the
packhorse route back to Hayfield. 'Travel Book of the Week' in the
