Description
Book SynopsisCicerone’s Walking the Lake District Fells guides are your ultimate fell-by-fell companions to the Lake District fells. A series of eight guidebooks, one for each of the main valley bases, each guidebook covers ALL the fells and ALL the routes in the area – that’s 230 fells in total.
This guidebook covers 24 Lakeland summits accessible from Coniston and the Duddon and Eskdale valleys.?Fells like Coniston Old Man, Dow Crag, Wetherlam and Swirl How are much loved for their classic ridges and wide-reaching views, however, to the west, the quieter summits of the Birker and Corney Fell massifs offer more great mountain and maritime vistas.
Ideal both for pre-planning and use on the hill, keen hillwalkers will find all the info needed to climb the fells with confidence, plus a fresh perspective on both classic and lesser-known fells. If you’re a summit-bagger you can use our tick lists to check off the fells as you climb them.
