Cumbria Rocks - 60 Extraordinary Rocky Places
Want to hear the full incredible story of the landscape of Cumbria?
To celebrate its 60th anniversary Cumbria Wildlife Trust has published a new, richly illustrated book – Cumbria Rocks. The book is for everyone curious about their landscape. In uncomplicated language it reveals the full history of Cumbria through tales of 60 special rocky places.
Author, Cumbrian geologist Ian Jackson, takes readers on a journey across the whole county and 500 million years of Cumbria’s history and connects its rocks to wildlife, history, economy, art and society.
128 full colour, full page photographs open a window into the Cumbria beneath your feet. Each page encourages you to explore the whole county and its diverse and beautiful places, and understand why they are as they are.
The 60 rock sites are wonderfully diverse and range from the Scottish border to Morecambe Bay, and from St Bees Head to the Pennine hills. The book doesn’t just cover places you may know in the Lake District, but many other stunning locations across Cumbria waiting for you to discover.
This book is a partnership production between Cumbria Wildlife Trust and Northern Heritage Services.
