Summary

The seventh edition of Lakeland's best selling guide book, newly revised and packed with fascinating information and real opinions.

The Good Guide to the Lakes Summary

The Good Guide to the Lakes by Tom Holman

Revised and expanded edition of the bestselling guide to Lakeland.



'The Good Guide is the answer to every tourist's prayer, a comprehensive assessment which treads on toes as well as sparking off satisfied grins.' Lakescene



'I think he was most unfair to Barrow.' Town Clerk, Barrow



'You'll wonder how you managed without it.' Yorkshire Post



Life is too short, holidays too precious, to waste time going to places which turn out draggy or boring. So the object is very simple - to guide you to all that is best to see and do in Lakeland, from mountains and lakes and walks to museums, hotels, restaurants and the latest tourist attractions.



Amazing how each year new wonders appear, new places pop up, new services get offered. Also things close, go off, disappear. So it's vital, if you are one of Lakeland's 24 million visitors a year, to be as up to date, up to scratch as possible.



Note well that this book contains no advertising, no payments have been received, unlike some guide books we could mention. And also that it has been written and researched here in Cumbria.

Keswick Reminder What's the top all-round guidebook for readability and comprehension? The seventh edition of the Good Guide to the Lakes is an entertaining read and gets my vote.
