<p>For many visitors, Beatrix Potter is the most interesting of the Lake District writers. The fact that so many of her stories have clear Lake District locations provides the basis for this book of short easy walks. Follow the adventures of Jeremy Fisher, Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs Tiggy Winkle, Peter Rabbit and many others, actually walking in their footsteps and visiting their lakes and rivers, their houses and gardens. The 15 walks included in this book are all suitable for young and not-so-young walkers. All have direct connections either to Beatrix Potter stories or to her life as a farmer and conservationist. There are maps, illustrations and clear directions plus parking and refreshment suggestions.</p>

<p>William Wordsworth was an avid walker, composing and seeking inspiration on regular and often lengthy walks around his beloved Lake District. Here are 20 walks connected to his life and work, allowing the reader to follow in the Lakeland laureate's footsteps by the lakes and tarns, rivers and valleys he celebrated in verse. Fully set out with maps, clear directions, advice on car parking, and refreshment suggestions, the walks are also illustrated with over 60 color photographs. Ranging from two to 12 miles in length, the routes are mostly short and relatively easy. Most are circular, and the few linear walks have details of how to return to the starting point by bus or boat.</p>

Walking with Wordsworth: In the Lake District

Explore one of England's great landscapes in the company of the great writers with whom it is indelibly associated. In the style of Walking with Beatrix Potter and Walking with Wordsworth, Walking with the Brontës is a pocket-sized book containing fifteen walking routes, predominantly in West Yorkshire.Each walk is to somewhere associated with one or more of the Brontë family, either in real life or with important characters or places in their novels: for instance the house on which Emily based Thrushcross Grange in Wuthering Heights, or the countryside around Cowan Bridge School which, with its harsh regime, caused the Brontë girls much suffering and became Lowood School in Charlotte's Jane Eyre.The walks are generally short and fairly easy, contrasting semi-urban areas with the wild moorland above their home at the Parsonage Haworth. Each route is fully described, aided by sketch plans, and illustrated by new colour photographs. In each case, a separate text explains the Bronte associations, with extracts from their writing.

Sigma Leisure

Maximum pleasure, minimum effort! Companion to our "On the Level" books for the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. All are aimed at those who prefer gentle walking to serious ascents. Lengths and effort required vary considerably. All are circular and start and finish at a recommended parking area. Interesting features along the route are described confirming that walking in North Wales can be undertaken as a relatively relaxing pastime. Pause for refreshment or photography or take time to gaze at the superb views - a feature of each and every walk in the book. A first for the concept "level" to be applied to walking in Snowdonia and Anglesey!

North Wales Walking on the Level

You don't have to climb the high tops, stride across rugged moorland or battle down steep valley sides to enjoy walking in this beautiful area. If you're not as fit as you were (or plan to be fitter than you are) or with young children in tow, this is bound to be the book for you! It's also ideal when time is short or clouds obscure the high ground. In this book, there are 32 walks without serious ascent which explore the heart of the Dales countryside and are packed with a wealth of interesting features encountered along the way. All the walks are based on well-known towns and villages, mainly within the most popular and best-loved Dales.  Since the "level" walker proceeds at a more leisurely pace, taking photographs and admiring the fine scenery, places of refreshments and picnic areas are mentioned where appropriate. And, if you're travelling by car to and from the relevant town or village, you'll appreciate the carefully selected and recommended car parking areas.  None of these walks have serious ascents of descents. The more leisurely pace allows the scenery to be admired and photographs to be taken.
