The Lake District is one of the most visited national parks in the country, with many people believing that the wildness has long since disappeared from the fells, lakes, tarns, and becks that make up its landscape. However, Jim Crumley sets out to prove them wrong, embarking on a mission to find "a new way of seeing and writing about this most seen and written about of landscapes." With a naturalist's eye and a poet's instinct, Crumley is drawn to the overlooked places in Lakeland where nature still thrives, from the low-lying shores to a high mountain oakwood that is not even on the map.
Through backwaters and backwoods, Crumley traces the captivating land's place in the evolution of global conservation and pleads the case for a far-reaching reappraisal of all of Lakeland's wildness. He argues that the Lake District is not just a beautiful natural wonder, but also a vital part of our global ecosystem, and that we must take steps to protect it for future generations.
Crumley's journey is filled with stunning imagery and thought-provoking insights, as he explores the hidden corners of the Lake District and discovers the incredible biodiversity that exists within its boundaries. He also shares his personal experiences and observations, providing a unique perspective on the importance of preserving the wildness of this iconic landscape.
In conclusion, The Lake District: A New Way of Seeing and Writing About This Most Seen and Written About of Landscapes is a must-read for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to understand the importance of preserving our natural world. Jim Crumley's passion for the Lake District and his commitment to conservation are inspiring, and his book offers a valuable perspective on the importance of protecting our wild spaces.
