Seasons

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

Centres

Ambleside, Patterdale, Grasmere

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 Fairfield, Red Screes and Helvellyn, and inspiring introduction to lesser-known fells such as Arnison Crag, High Pike and White Side, with crystal-clear Harvey mapping and the author’s detailed elevation diagrams and panoramas.
