Granite and Grit: A Walker's Guide to the Geology of British Mountains by Ronald Turnbull

The Lake District landscape has been praised by artists and wordsmiths for over two centuries. In this part of our store we display books of art, verse, descriptive non-fiction and photographic images as well as some on Cumbrian geology. Together these illustrate Cumbria's Lakeland, its peaks, meres and streams with the help of numerous different eyes. And an important further viewpoint is that of the geologist who can tell us what lies underneath the surface and to such a great degree influences what we see there. We're very happy to include "Granite and Grit: A Walker's Guide to the Geology of British Mountains" in the Lake District Landscape department of our catalogue.

More From The Site Editor About Lake District Landscape

The wonderful Lake District landscape is to a large extent determined by the region's underlying geology and therefore we have publications on this topic. Then there is the landscape of towns and villages, from ancient stone circles to more recent houses and forestry, small towns and villages, with the lanes and trackways connecting them. Granite and Grit: A Walker's Guide to the Geology of British Mountains by Ronald Turnbull is only one of the large number of titles in the category. We trust that you will enjoy it and will also browse through the other books listed under Lakeland Landscape.
