The Wordsworth Way - a literary walking guide between Glenridding and Ambleside

"The Wordsworth Way is a point-to-point walk, which can be undertaken as a single journey. However the guide breaks the journey into four separate stages, with one linear walk between Glenridding and Grasmere (Walk 1) and three circuits that take the wayfarer from Grasmere to Ambleside (Walks 2, 3 and 4)." Extract from The Wordsworth Way - A literary walking guide between Glenridding and Ambleside.

The Wordsworth Way Guide, by Jade Cookson, will be on sale in local shops and information centres. Also by mail order from Catstycam and info@vereybooks.co.uk
