this tour provides an excellent introduction to the charms of english lakeland, england's most mountainous area that requires no recommendation. walking is unquestionably the best way to see this celebrated landscape, hailed over the years by the likes of poets, authors and painters. wordsworth, tennyson, arthur ramson, beatrix potter and wainwright, have all left their mark! the distances covered each day are fairly short so there is ample time to pause and admire the unsurpassed scenery. the route is very much a classic although it largely avoids upland areas where navigation would become a problem in poor weather.
