Lake District the Postcard Collection: The Postcard Collection

By Billy F K Howorth

The Lake District (or Lakeland, as it's commonly known round these parts) is by far the UK's most popular national park. Every year, some 15 million people come here to explore the region's fells and countryside and it's not hard to see why. Ever since the Romantic poets arrived in the nineteenth century, its panorama of craggy hilltops, mountain tarns and glittering lakes has been stirring the imaginations of visitors. Among the many writers who found inspiration here are William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Arthur Ransome and, of course, Beatrix Potter, a lifelong lover of the Lakes.Lake District The Postcard Collection takes the reader on an evocative journey into the past through a fascinating selection of old postcards which offer a window into the history of this most loved of England's places.
