The Hidden Places of the Lake District & Cumbria is a beautifully illustrated guide and explores the Lake District and Cumbria in a relaxed narrative style. It contains a wealth of interesting information on the history, the countryside, the towns and villages and established visitor attractions, but it also focuses on promoting the lesser known places of interest and places to stay, eat and drink.

The delightful county of Cumbria in which the lakes reside is England's second largest county, but surprisingly has a relatively small population of only 490,000 people which is only slightly more numerous than the city of Leeds. The Lake District is most famous for its impressive mountain scenery but it also offers visitors green rolling hills, fast flowing rivers, deep lush forests and of course the enchanting and languid lakes. Below the fells, peaceful country lanes meander through beautiful little hamlets and tiny rural villages, many steeped in history. This wonderful scenery is of course celebrated by the "Lake Poets" - Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey. Apart from the Lake District, Cumbria offers gentle moorland, craggy coastal headlands, scattered woodlands and a fascinating history and cultural heritage.

 

The writer 

An Oxford Classics graduate, Peter Long dabbled briefly in financial planning before deciding that words were more appealing than numbers. He subsequently spent many years as an inspector and writer with Egon Ronay's Hotels & Restaurants Guides before joining the Travel Publishing editorial team in 1998. He has written titles covering the West Country, Yorkshire, the North East of England, the Heart of England, the Lake District & Cumbria, the South East, Cornwall, the South of England, Dorset, Hampshire & the Isle of Wight, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Suffolk and Wales.
