The North-Western Fells of the English Lake District make up a rectangle of high ground between Keswick and Cockermouth, bound by Bassenthwaite, Buttermere and Borrowdale. From their high link with the Western Fells on Honister Pass through to their northernmost limits, the North-Westerns are never found wanting when it comes to walking pleasure. Curvaceous ridge upon ridge, deeply folded dale after dale, this is where Lakeland fellwalking finds its most perfect expression. 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 North-Western Fells.

For each of the 29 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 the 6th 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.
