  • The Lake District
    countrywalkers.com 800.234.6900 England: The Lake District Flight + Tour Combo Itinerary Wandering clouds cross the halcyon skies above Grasmere, casting shadows on the lonely fells. Wordsworth called this “the loveliest spot that man hath ever found”; who could possibly disagree? It’s hard not to wax poetic when your Lake District walking tour leads past rushing creeks, brooding peaks, glassy lakes, and ancient oaks wrapped in morning mist. This afternoon you’re bound for Wordsworth’s Rydal Mount estate, where the poet’s beloved daffodils and dozens of other blooms brighten the luxuriant grounds. Later you’ve got your own estate to retreat to. Your inn the next three nights is one of Beatrix Potter’s former country homes—fitting start to the journey’s next chapter. Highlights Glimpse the life of a literary legacy on a tour of poet William Wordsworth’s country home, Rydal Mount, in the heart of the Lake District. Watch gorgeous scenery unfold as you glide across Derwent Water lake aboard a Victorian wood- paneled ferryboat. Follow in historical footsteps as you walk past ancient slate mines along paths built by long- forgotten quarrymen. Traverse a magnificent countryside of rolling hills and tranquil lakes, which has inspired artists, authors, and poets for centuries. 1 / 8 countrywalkers.com 800.234.6900 Activity Level This tour is one of our Guided Walking Adventures, rated easy to moderate with more challenging options on some days, and with an average of 4 to 6 miles per day.

  • An Old Road to Knott Head from Thornthwaite by DEREK DENMAN
    An old road to Knott Head from Thornthwaite BY DEREK DENMAN In 1998 a group of members of the Lorton & Derwent Fells Local History Society made excavations, with the consent of the landowner, on an old disused road which ascends the fell-side between Thornthwaite and Knott Head.1,2 The group had been established to study and seek Roman roads in Lorton Vale, based on the common understanding that the Whinlatter Pass was once on the route of a Roman road; for example as proposed and surveyed by Allan in The Roman route across the northern Lake District; Brougham to Moresby.3 Having been unable to find clear physical evidence of such a road at the western end of the pass, the group turned its attention to the eastern end, and the relationship of the ascent with the closest piece of proven Roman road; the old causeway by Braithwaite railway station reported by Bellhouse in these Transactions in 1954 and 1960.4,5 The group found a long disused, unreported old road to Knott Head, consistent with the conjectural route proposed by Bellhouse. This paper reports and discusses the findings. Location and context of the road. Figure 1 provides a composite map of the area based on the first edition six inches to one mile ordnance survey of 1863. This map has been annotated with features and boundaries relevant to the road and the excavations made. Where it is shown as a full line, from GR22272467 to GR22132458, the road is a clear and distinct terrace-way, climbing the fell side to the south of the valley cut by Masmill Beck.

  • Lakeland 25000 Book
    Lancashire Automobile Club (1902) Ltd Lakeland 25000 The 1939 challenge undertaken by an Austin 8 LANCASHIRE AUTOMOBILE CLUB (1902) LTD 1 Introduction We recently came across a fascinating film recently which sparked an idea. The film was used to publicise the launch of the Austin 8 in 1939. In those days’ manufacturers produced short films to be show in the intermission at picture houses. To make the films relevant and interesting they often set the car a challenge to demonstrate its abilities and in particular reliability. In the case of the Austin 8 the challenge was to climb 25,000 feet in a day. To achieve this feat, they employed a top driver of his day Tommy Wisdom (father of Anne Wisdom the well know lady rally driver from the 1950’s) and went to the Lake District to take on the many passes we know today. Tommy Wisdom specialised in endurance events and entered 52 sports car races in 33 years, including 12 Le Mans 24-hour races, 10 Mille Miglias and 4 Targa Florios. After the war he was a class winner in the Mille Miglia in 1949, 1952 and 1957, and at Le Mans in 1950 and 1952. In 1950 he lent his Jaguar XK120 to Stirling Moss for the RAC Tourist Trophy, which brought Moss his first major international race victory. Now don’t think about the roads as they are today relatively smooth and tarmacked. In fact, don’t even think of cow tracks; think more in the line of goat tracks strewn with boulders and stream crossings.
