And where can you go to get a slap-up vegetarian meal after a hard day looking at the view? The Viva! Vegetarian and Vegan Guide to the Lake District holds the answers to these questions and much more. Now in its 12th year this best-selling veggie guide has been totally updated. It contains sections on where to find the tastiest vegetarian and vegan restaurants, a whole host of wholefood shops, the cosiest vegetarian guesthouses and hotels and the most welcoming pubs. It is the essential guide for the veggie traveller. And if you find you've forgotten your bubble bath, the guide will direct you to where you can buy your cruelty-free cosmetics and toiletries. "The Lake District is a magical place and has so much to offer", says guide editor Fiona Smithers, "and this guide makes it clear that vegetarians and vegans need not worry about where their next meal is coming form. In fact the wealth of animal-free options is so astounding that visitors who had planned an action-packed holiday may find they do nothing but eat instead!" The foreword by journalist, TV producer and Viva! trustee, Tony Wardle, paints a picture of a romantic idyll and makes you yearn for a day amidst the dramatic landscape. And what could be better after a day plighting your troth than to follow it up with a wholesome cruelty-free nosh up at a top restaurant? Whether you're planning a whirlwind weekend break or have decided to stay in the Lakes forever this essential guide will help you find the perfect places to eat, drink, shop and drop. And at only £1.00 it represents great value. Available by mail order for £1.50 (including p&p) from Viva!, 8 York Court, Wilder Street, Bristol BS2 8QH and outlets throughout the Lakes.
