Forever linked with poet William Wordsworth, England's Lake District is rich in cultural associations and beautiful scenery. Having spent every summer there for the past 50 years, Hunter Davies takes an engaging and affectionate tour of the nation's most popular tourist destination. From the tale of the Maid of Buttermere and Coleridge's 1802 ascent of Scafell Pike to such enduring local traditions as Cumberland wrestling and hound trailing, Davies brings the Lake District memorably and informatively to life.
