Seasons

Suitable all-year round, but winter walking, even on the lower fells, is not for the inexperienced or under-equipped.

Centres

Great Langdale, Chapel Stile, Ambleside, Keswick, Borrowdale

Difficulty

Straightforward, short ascents, often not on clear paths, to be used as a basis for readers’ own circuits. Navigational skills needed but no specialist equipment. Any scrambling is easy and non-scrambling options are always provided.

Must See

A fresh perspective on classic summits like the Langdale Pikes, Silver How and Sergeant Man, and inspiring introduction to lesser-known fells such as Bleaberry Fell, High Rigg and Thunacar Knott, with crystal-clear Harvey mapping and the author’s detailed elevation diagrams and panoramas.
