Cumbria Rocks by Ian Jackson

To celebrate its 60th anniversary Cumbria Wildlife Trust has published a new, richly illustrated book – Cumbria Rocks. The book is for everyone curious about their landscape. In uncomplicated language it reveals the full history of Cumbria through tales of 60 special rocky places.

Author, Cumbrian geologist Ian Jackson, takes readers on a journey across the whole county and 500 million years of Cumbria’s history and connects its rocks to wildlife, history, economy, art and society. The 60 rock sites are wonderfully diverse and range from the Scottish border to Morecambe Bay, and from St Bees Head to the Pennine hills.

This book is a partnership production between Cumbria Wildlife Trust and Northern Heritage Services.
