Portrait of Cumbria

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Dr. Marshall shows how many realities and contradictions are vonceyed by the title 'Cumbria'. He surveys its separate worlds and discusses what they have in common, and he suggests, in a description of the working of the National Park organisation for the area, that the latter is a highly necessary protection for a previous part of our national heritage which is under threat. He shows, too, how the visitor may find beauty and fascination in little-known areas beyond the National Park boundary, and so add richness and completeness to his own visits, as well as gaining an understanding of the region as a whole.
