Book Description

Excerpt from Foxhunting on the Lakeland Fells That portion of Cumberland and Westmorland, which is popularly known as the Lake District, is the holiday ground of a great number of persons who delight in its splendid scenery of mountain, wood and lake, who enjoy roaming on foot over its uplands, climbing its peaks, driving in motor or charabanc along its sinuous valleys, rowing or sailing on its lakes, and sketching or photographing its picturesque views, which present themselves to even the most inartistic eye. But these folk belong to the family of Hirundinidae - swallows - they are summer visitants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
