THE charm of the English Lake
District has been an accepted idea ever since the Romantic Poets of the early nineteenth century first began to celebrate it; but many people think of it more as a poets' Paradise than as a very eligible place to make holiday in. In this talk Mr. Valentine will describe that wild mountain country where the largest lakes in England reflect the highest peaks, and tiny villages nestle in the folds of the hills. Also he will bring the Lake District to earth, and give some very practical information about how to get there and where there is to stay.
