Product Description

The River Eden starts its life among the wild fells of the Cumbrian Pennines, high on a bleak moorland plateau between the peaks of Hugh Seat and Archy Styrigg. The river courses through bog and peat, issuing from the rim of the fells on Mallerstang Edge before rushing northwards to the sea.On its journey the Eden passes through some of Northern England's most stunning and varied scenery, from wild flower meadows to dense woodland gorges, fertile farmland to luscious parklands, all to rival the best in the country. Characterful market towns have sprung up throughout the valley, and historic villages and farmsteads are scattered along the length of this mighty river before the flatlands of the Solway Firth are reached at Carlisle.

This beautiful collection of over 140 colour photographs, brought together in one book to reveal a perfect Eden, encapsulates the life of the valley in all its moods.
