North Lake District

Liz Bonnin enjoys the sights, sounds and tastes of the north Lake District. Liz begins her journey two-and-a-half thousand feet above sea level in Whinlatter Forest, where she tries her hand at tree felling. In Keswick, she learns how a pencil factory helped keep Second World War RAF pilots safe behind enemy lines before meeting a photographer who worked with the great guidebook author, Alfred Wainwright. Finally, Liz spends an evening with the Ambleside pudding club where she tastes no less than six desserts.
