Description
Book SynopsisReady for adventure in the Lake District Fells? Cicerone’s Walking the Lake District Fells guides are your ultimate fell-by-fell companions. 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 35 Lakeland summits that can be climbed from Patterdale, Ambleside and the Grasmere, Thirlmere and Ullswater valleys. The area is characterised by lofty ridges, with highlights including Helvellyn, Fairfield, St Sunday Crag and Red Screes, plus a handful of classic ridge routes for longer fell days.
Those with some previous hiking experience will find all the info needed to climb the fells with confidence, plus a fresh perspective on both classic and lesser-known fells. Keen summit-baggers can use our tick lists to tick off the fells as they go.
