Grasmere, at the heart of the Lake District National Park and World Heritage Site, is one of the most celebrated valleys in the region.

The particular Lakeland character and beauty of Grasmere have made it world famous and have inspired artists and writers for over two hundred years. This high-quality book is a personal photographic diary by award-winning photographer Bill Birkett.

All the four seasons, and their many moods, are represented and the photographic journey extends from lakeshore, through village, wood and meadow, to the high fell tops. Extensive captions are based on a lifetime's local knowledge.
