Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Pictorial and Descriptive Guide to the English Lake District: With an Outline Guide for Pedestrians, Map of District and Three Section Maps, Upwards of Sixty Illustrations
HE Lake District proper has been defined as the picturesque and mountainous region comprised within the counties of Westmorland and Cumberland and a small portion Of Lancashire, within which are grouped as many as sixteen lakes or meres, besides innumerable mountain tarns and streams and a series of mountains rising in seven points to a height of over three thousand feet. The district extends about thirty miles from north to south, by about twenty-nve from east to west but for the benefit of visitors to this most inviting land our work covers a wider area, and some Of the beautiful and interesting places beyond the defined boundary are dealt with.
For the sake of lucidity and convenience we have divided the area covered by the Guide into two main districts, with sections as under. A glance at the Contents pages will, we trust, make the arrangement of the book quite clear.
