Finding Solace in the Lake District

£19.99

Finding Solace in the Lake District is the ultimate travel companion for seekers, wanderers, and slow travellers. Blending lyrical nature writing with cultural insight, this book traces a deeply reflective solo journey through the lakes and mountains of Northern England—where each trail becomes a ritual of resistance, healing, and self-discovery.

Against the backdrop of Gen Z burnout and a collapsing work culture, anthropologist and writer Veer Shah explores what it means to reclaim time, silence, and solitude in a world obsessed with productivity. Explore the Lakes through a collection of heartfelt journal entries, emotional maps, photographs, trail notes, and the deep ponderings of a 22 year old as he seeks refuge from the monotonous mundane.

Part memoir, part field guide, and part cultural meditation, this is not just a book about hiking the Lake District. It’s about slowing down, finding belonging in wild places, and confronting inner struggles with every step.

Whether you're planning your own hike or simply searching for clarity and calm, Finding Solace in the Lake District offers a soulful alternative to fast travel and guidebook tourism. Come for the peaks and passes—stay for the honesty, poetry, and quiet contemplation.
