This book, first published as Roads and Trackways of the Lake District in 1984, and now thoroughly revised, traces the history of Lakeland’s roads and tracks. It aims to put the development of roads into the wider context of political, social, economic and landscape change. It will allow the reader to follow in the footsteps of earlier visitors from the Romans to today’s tourists, as well as giving directions for further research. With its many maps and illustrations, this book will remain a valuable resource for those interested in the history and landscape of the Lake District.
