Lake District Writers

Judging by the shelves of any good bookshop or a Lake District Tourist Information Centre, more has probably been written about this hauntingly beautiful part of the world, than almost anywhere else. The famous poets associated with the area started their jottings years ago - Wordsworth, Coleridge, Grey and others, and more recently the word processors of modern scribes have adopted the theme.
