Saunterings is a set of reflections based upon walks around the counties of
Cumbria, Lancashire and
North Yorkshire in North-West England (as defined in the
Preamble).
Apart from the Hills, Lakes
and Dales of North-West England there are other
places that may be of interest to a walker (well, to me, anyway).
Below is a list of
some of them.
Generally speaking, they are marked by a blue star or a viewpoint symbol on the OS map
or are antiquities, National Nature Reserves (NNRs) or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs).
I've squashed the list to the left so that
it's readable on mobile phones.
The right-hand column indicates a walk to or around the place,
the number being a link to a Sauntering visit and a + indicating a
pre-Sauntering visit (as far as I recall).
