Presenting a collection of approximately 200 archive photographs accompanied by captions, this book explores the historic market town and port of Ulverston. It depicts the changing face of Ulverston over the years, describing the streets, shops, pubs, industries and the people who formed the heart of this strong community.

A guidebook to the Cumbria Way, a 73-mile long distance path through the heart of the English Lake District from Ulverston to Carlisle. The route is largely low-level, but this book also describes alternative mountain days which add the Coniston Fells, Glaramara and Skiddaw en route.

This guidebook also provides useful information for every stage, from accommodation to available facilities en route, as well as an annotated OS map and details on points of interest.
