Mark Richards' Walking the Lake District Fells series is a unique collection of guidebooks packed with all the routes to the summits of all 230 Lakeland fells. Each of the eight main valley bases is covered in a dedicated guidebook.

These guidebooks provide a comprehensive exploration of the main paths and alternative routes to each summit, all accompanied by hand-drawn topographical maps (topos) and summit panoramas. You'll have the freedom to devise your own routes or choose from a variety of ascents, descents, and ridge routes. This versatility allows you to discover hidden treasures away from the crowded trails and explore "fell-friendly" routes designed to minimise environmental impact.
