5.0 out of 5 stars Rough Guide to the Lake District, June 19, 2008

By	Ian L. James (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this book extensively both in preparing for a week spent in the Lake District. It proved to be very detailed and accurate, as well as very up-to-date as regards prices / website addresses, etc. I have been to the area several times in the past, and this guide really brought back all the memories and had me chomping at the bit to return. While there, I used it constantly, and not once did it provide any inaccurate information. A good guide book is essential for any trip - and this is one of the best I have ever used.
