Must See

A fresh perspective on classic Lakeland summits like Scafell Pike, Bowfell and the Crinkles, and Read More... inspiring introduction to lesser-known fells such as Hard Knott, Rossett Pike and Whin Rigg, with crystal-clear Harvey mapping and the author’s detailed elevation diagrams and panoramas.

The Southern Fells of the English Lake District are defined to the north by the ‘lost’ Roman road that crossed Hardknott and Wrynose passes, and led from Eskdale into Little Langdale. The fells run south, on both sides of the beautiful Duddon. The famous Coniston Fells lie to the east and sweeping horizons to the west. The area begins impressively upon Harter Fell and ends remotely upon the coastal reaches of Black Combe. Author Mark Richards combines his passion for the Lake District and artistic flair with all the information the experienced walker needs to explore and enjoy the Central Fells.

For each of the 23 hills covered, this guide offers:
•    a dedicated chapter, with full descriptions of a range of new and old routes
•    full-colour Harvey maps and clear elevation diagrams
•    detailed summit panoramas
•    lots of inspiring photographs.

This guide is one of the first to be published in Cicerone’s 8-volume Lakeland Fellranger series, which provides a comprehensive new guide to the fells of the English Lake District, with a selection of new routes up more than 230 hills.
