This book will cover the Border Country that stretches from the Irish Sea and the Solway Firth in the west to the North Sea in the east, and from the Scottish Border in the north to the northern extremities of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales in the south.The area was very active during the Industrial Revolution, but much of the diverse landscape - waterfalls, forests, moorlands etc. remains unspoiled because of its remoteness. As one of the great centres of Christianity in England, the region is celebrated for its ecclesiastical treasures, whilst the large number of castles, strongholds and fortifications reflects centuries of border warfare.
