This beautifully illustrated book contains an account of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's walks and explorations in the Lake District based on the jottings in his notebooks and his vast correspondence.
Looks at how Coleridge and Wordsworth began a love affair with walking in the fells of the Lake District in 1799, which transformed the way that we regard the area today. It wasn't until the late 19th century, however, that solitary fell walking became popular.
