"I spent last Friday night wandering around the Northern stretches of the Lancaster canal .. And ended the evening in a local hostelry with a group of chums.

The fringes of the Lake District have a great atmosphere of peace - a quality which has almost vanished from the crowded central areas of England's favourite National Park. In this new collection of 25 walks, Neil Coates takes a fresh approach to the area, urging ramblers to abandon the crushing crowds and discover the tranquility of the mountain paths, wild woodland, waterfalls and local heritage of the Lake District Fringes. Walks range from 4 to 11 miles and - best of all - each one features a refreshing stop at a quiet village pub or country inn, personally selected by the author.
