In Charlie Emett's opinion you would have to look long and hard to find another area of Britain that is closer to heaven on earth. Renowned for its tranquil beauty and the warmth of its inhabitants, the Eden Valley is a Cumbrian gem. This book explores 100 aspects of the Eden Valley's history, from ancient castles and peel towers to ten modern sculptures along the river, from famous sons and daughters of the area, such as Lady Anne Clifford, to local eccentrics. Curiosities such as the beck that runs uphill, the only wind in Britain that has a name (the Helm) and the Eden Gorge rock carvings, are not forgotten. Charlie Emett has unearthed a wealth of stories, places and events relating to his beloved Eden Valley, which will enthral and entertain anyone who knows this wonderful corner of Cumbria.
Charlie Emett was born and bred in Kirkby Stephen. He has written thirty-four books and has had many articles published in 'The Northern Echo'. Charlie's passion is walking and he is a member of the Outdoor Writers Guild. Even though he has lived in Darlington since the 1960's, his heart is still in the Eden Valley.
