Tarns of the Fells: Celebrating Cumbria's Mountain Landscapes

The 2000 tarns - or small mountain lakes - of Cumbria are the jewels of the fells. This attractive booket is a great introduction to the geological origins of the tarns, the plants and animals that inhabit them and their conservation needs. But many people will especially enjoy the human element in this book, the archaeology and history of tarns and tales of ice harvesting, gunpowder making and forceful abductions among the high tarns of Cumbria.
