The Cicerone Guide to Walking in Lancashire
I updated the Cicerone guide to Walking in Lancashire, which was originally authored by the late, great Mary Welsh. The revised version was published last year and continues to sell well.
The beauty of this great county lies in the diversity of its landscapes, the warmth of its people and the depth of its history.
From charming rambles along a canalside towpath from the heart of a mill town into the countryside beyond, to challenging treks to the top of rugged mountains to earn outstanding views – the Red Rose County has it all.
