Calendars
Wall calendars.
We are pleased to announce that our full-colour wall calendar for 2026 is now available to buy from our online shop. This year we are featuring a series of landscape photographs from around the National Landscape, all submitted to our 2025 Photographic competition.
Books
General Interest Books
From time to time, the Trust publishes its own books and other materials which we hope will be of interest to our members as well as to visitors and lovers of the National Landscape in general. The currently available volumes include personal anthologies of their favourite articles from Keer to Kent by former editors Barry Ayre and Terry Keefe, plus a reprint of Leonard Smith’s highly popular book about Milnthorpe and its former role as a sea port, Kendal’s Port.
Copies of these books can be purchased at selected events during the year, as well as via our on-line shop.

Hand-drawn Coloured Map
We have a limited number of printed reproductions of Richard Daly’s beautiful pen-and-ink hand-drawn map of the AONB available. These are A1-sized reproductions of a hand-coloured version in possession of the Trust (original artist unknown), suitable for framing. They make a striking addition to any wall.
Copies can be purchased from the National Landscape office, and ordered for nationwide delivery, via the Landscape Trust on-line shop.
