One name above all others has become 

associated with walking in the Lake District: 

Alfred Wainwright, whose seven-volume 

Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, first published in 1955–

66, has become the definitive guidebook. 

Wainwright’

s meticulously hand-drawn 

maps, diagrams and drawings take walkers up the 214 principal hills and mountains of the Lake District, describing the main routes of ascent from different starting points, as well as lesser-known variants, showing the summit viewpoint panoramas and the ridge routes that can be made to create longer walks. Every page combines words and illustrations to 

present the routes in a way that is original, visually appealing 

and easy to follow.

This new edition of Wainwright’

s Walking Guide to the Lake 

District Fells has been comprehensively revised. Paths, maps, diagrams and 

route descriptions have been checked and corrected throughout. These revisions have been undertaken by writer and designer Clive 

Hutchby, author of 

The 

Wainwright Companion.

The Central Fells, Book Three of Wainwright’

s Walking Guide, covers the popular fells accessible from Great Langdale, Ambleside, Grasmere, Keswick and Borrowdale, including Harrison Stickle, Pike o’

Stickle, Pavey Ark, Silver How Loughrigg Fell, Helm Crag and Walla Crag.
