Landscape and Life on the Pennine Watershed

Subtitled Landscape and Life on the Pennine Watershed, the author walks the route of the watershed from Kinder Scout as far as Hadrian’s Wall. Along the way he explores various aspects of the area’s history, ecology, geology and culture, and meets many of the people whose lives are dedicated to its conservation - this fascinating journey is illustrated throughout with photographs by John Morrison.
