Cicerone’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, cover ALL the routes up ALL the fells in each area – that’s 230 fells in total.
This guidebook covers 25 fells accessible from the Great Langdale Valley, Grasmere and Ambleside. The area offers stunning scenery and fantastic walking, from charming Loughrigg to eye-catching Helm Crag, from the lofty heights of Bowfell to the iconic Langdale Pikes. England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike, is also included in this volume as are a handful of classic ridge routes for longer fell days.
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.
What sets these guidebooks apart from the rest?
- Complete coverage – every route covered, not just the main one.
- Devise your own routes – a variety of ascents, descents, and ridge routes, so you can choose to climb one fell or combine routes to craft your own adventure.
- Up-to-date route information – complete route description and HARVEY mapping for each fell.
- Hand-drawn toposand panoramas – easily see the routes up each fell and views from the top.

Over de auteur
Mark Richards’ transition from full-time farmer to full-time outdoor writer has been a gradual one. In 1973, with the direct encouragement of Alfred Wainwright, he wrote his first walking guide to the Cotswold Way. Since then he has indulged his pleasure in exploring rural Britain by creating a range of walking guides. In 1980 he began his three-part guide to the Peak District for Cicerone Press, and in 1987, with Chris Wright, wrote a guide to walking around the former county of Westmorland. This book sowed the seeds of a dream, to be fulfilled some 14 years later, when he and his wife moved to Cumbria. Here he developed a passion for the finest of all walking landscapes, held within and around this marvellous county. Mark has written a Cicerone guide to Great Mountain Days in the Lake District and, after many years of dedicated research, completed his Lakeland Fellranger series of eight guides covering the entire region in 2013. Now living in what was once the Barony of Gilsland, Mark is also close to Hadrian’s Wall, enabling him to renew a fascination first kindled when he prepared a guide to walking the Wall in 1993. He has also published a guide to the Wall for Cicerone.Meer e-boeken van dezelfde auteur (s) / Editor
