This new edition guidebook to the Cumbria Way has route updates, some new photos and much-improved mapping at 1:60,000. The Way runs for 73 miles northward across the Lake District, starting from Ulverston, passing through unspoiled dales with stone-built farms, skirting around charming lakes and running beneath rugged fells. Busy tourist centres such as Ulverston, Coniston and Keswick contrast with woodland, wild fellside, high passes and remote moorlands. The Way passes over the summit of High Pike with panoramic views, and descends to the historic border city of Carlisle.
