The Land of the Lune presents a guide to the region of northwest England that lies within the Lune watershed. It covers parts of the Howgills, the Lakes, the Dales and the Forest of Bowland, and the area between. It travels along the Lune and its tributaries (including the Rawthey, Clough, Dee, Greta, Wenning, Conder and Cocker), visiting places of interest along the way, such as Tebay, Sedbergh, Kirkby Lonsdale, Ingleton, Bentham and Lancaster.
