Designed to help wheelchair users get outside across the Lake District and Cumbria, the walks are also suitable for pushchairs and all-terrain buggies, and favour families with younger children and anyone wanting a relatively gentle walk amid beautiful surroundings to enjoy at their own pace.

The book sets out with a pleasing circuit of Talkin Tarn and concludes with an adventurous ‘expedition’ in Ennerdale, in between offering delightful lakeside strolls beside – among others – Derwent Water, Grasmere and Windermere; old railway trackbed rambles through Smardale and from Keswick to Threlkeld; coastal promenades at Silloth and Allonby; woodland wanders at Grizedale and Miltonrigg; following Hadrian’s Wall at Willowford and Harrow’s Scar; nature encounters at Watchtree and Revelin Moss; and village-based walks at Caldbeck and Staveley.
