The Hidden Places of the Lake District and Cumbria, Travel Publishing, £8.99.
MANY visitors to the Lake District head straight for the famous honey-pot destinations of Bowness, Ambleside and Hawkshead – but there is far more to the region than those places.
It is with this in mind that the authors of ‘The Hidden Places The Lake District and Cumbria’ have tasked themselves with opening visitors’ eyes to many gems waiting to be discovered.
A well-written, easy to read guide book, it offers interesting information and historical snippets such as about the iron obelisk in Lindale in honour of John Wilkinson, inventor of the first successful iron ship.
There is also plenty of detail on the not so hidden bits of the Lake District in this handy pocket-sized book that will serve visitors well, and open up a plethora of new places to explore
