A series of eight guidebooks, one for each of the main valley bases, cover ALL the routes up ALL the fells in each area – that’s 230 fells in total.
This guidebook covers 36 Lakeland summits accessible from the Kentmere, Haweswater and Ullswater valleys. Highlights include High Street, Place Fell and the Kentmere horseshoe, further east lie less well-known summits that offer solitude and magnificent views. Suggestions for longer ridge routes are also given.
