Wainwright Walks – Lake District

Do not adjust the color levels on your television set. The scenery that host Julia Bradbury walks through in this British television series really is that lush, green and breathtakingly beautiful. It’s picturesque enough to turn down the volume and watch the landscape flow by, dreaming of the day you can get over there and see if for yourself. The good news is that the stories that Bradbury shares as she climbs the fells (mountains) of the Lake District, based on the writings of the area’s most famous proponent, Alfred Wainwrights, are just as compelling. It’s the kind of series that makes you want to go get Wainwright’s books en route to the travel agent to book a trip of your own.
