Seasons
Year round, but be prepared under winter conditions for things to be much tougher.
Centres
Access to the West Lakes is through either Keswick in the north or through the South Lakes (or through Wrynose and Hardknott passes).
Difficulty
Half- to full-day walks, mainly in lower fells and valleys, plus worthwhile summits. Easier routes than the high fells.
Must See
Wild Wasdale, remote Ennerdale, high ridges around Buttermere, plus less-known and quieter walks down to the coast near St Bees and Ravenglass.
'Anyone who has enjoyed using the two Short Walks in Lakeland books,
North and South, by Aileen and Brian, would be looking forward to the
third and last of the trilogy. The guides are definitely a model for
what walkers’ guides should be – beautifully designed, chunky and
pocket-sized, packed with information, and many excellent illustrations
include fine sketches and colour photographs. The maps are all neat and
clear, and there are many panoramas with named peaks. The selection of
50 walks in this less-used area of the Lake District offers a wide
variety, graded easy, moderate and strenuous. Here are some of the
finest walks in the whole of the Lakes including classics like the head
of Wastwater Screes and the Great Gable traverse. All are exceptionally
well researched and clearly described. The advice in the introduction
is as it should be. The Evans’ books are in a class of their own and
strongly recommended.'
