The River Kent is born at the head of Kentmere, a wide glacial valley in Cumbria. Flowing through Kentmere, Staveley, Burnside, Kendal, Sedgwick and out into Morcambe Bay, the river takes a vaired course - passing through rural landscapes and once-industrial regions.
Catherine Rothwell takes us on a walk along the Kent, from source to sea. Drawing on many interviews with local characters, which are interwoven with a blend of recollections, nostalgia and history, this book should appeal to anyone who knows the river and the unspoilt landscape through which it flows.
