Foxhunting on the Lakeland Fells

Richard Clapham and James William Lowther, Viscount Ullswater

On the Lakeland fells the fox is hunted on foot, up crag and scree where no horse can follow. Richard Clapham describes the hardy fell fox, the hounds bred to work him, and the shepherds' hunts that thread the mountains of northwest England. Reminiscence and field lore braid through steep, weather-beaten country. A vivid window onto a rugged upland tradition.
