The Second Lake District title has 28 circular walks - all tried and tested by seasoned walkers. The routes range from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, meaning there is something for everyone. This guidebook includes several walks that are either on the periphery of or outside the boundaries of the national park. There are two main reasons for this: the first is to reduce some of the pressure on the more popular parts of the Lake District, and the second is to encourage walkers to visit other areas of Cumbria were there is so much superb and varied scenery. Walkers have the opportunity to explore the atmosphere ruins of Shap Abbey and see St Bees Head, where the cliff tops are home to nesting birds and give a grandstand view to Gallows hill, the Isle of Man, and the distant Mourne Mountains.
