Synopsis

'Wainwright's Way' is a journey on foot through Wainwright's life from Lancashire to the Lakes. This walking guide charts a 126-mile long-distance route linking the place where Wainwright was born - a Victorian terraced house in Audley Range, Blackburn - with his final resting place on Haystacks, his heavenly corner of Lakeland.

About this title

About the Author

NICK BURTON, a native Lancastrian, has written numerous walking guides to Lancashire and Manchester. He also works as a professional walk leader for Blackburn Council and occasionally skulks around the same Victorian corridors of Blackburn Town Hall once occupied by a certain pipe-smoking fell wanderer.

Review

'Has an air of charm about it...will nestle nicely on the bookshelf next to the works of the master.' Footsteps 'More scenic than the Pennine Way and shorter than the Coast to Coast, this journey through Wainwright's life story makes an engaging route which all Wainwright completists will want to walk.' Country Walking 'This quirky little book offers a fascinating insight into the life and times of A.W.' Country Walking 'A deeply affectionate tribute to the man and the country he loved. The route taken should make us think again about the whole range of Wainwright's work.' Cumberland News 'This route may well become a 'pilrimage' route in years to come. I hope so.' Keswick Reminder 'You'll enjoy this surprise edition to the Wainwright canon - especially in Burton's well-informed company.' Cumbria 'A riveting read.' Grange Now
