LAKELAND WILD

The Lake District is one of England’s busiest national parks, and many people believe that wildness is long gone from its fells, lakes, tarns and becks. Jim Crumley sets out to prove them wrong - to find “a new way of seeing and writing about this most seen and written about of landscapes”. From low-lying shores to a high mountain oakwood, he unveils this captivating landscape’s role in the evolution of global conservation, and pleads the case for a far-reaching reappraisal of all of Lakeland’s wildness.
