Publisher's Synopsis

Alfred Wainwright's series of Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells are a legendary publishing achievement. Hand-written and initially self-published they have sold over a million copies and have introduced countless thousands to the pleasures and rewards of fell walking. Here Hunter Davies selects 18 favourite fells from the Pictorial Guides, introducing each with an anecdote or memory of Wainwright and an account of how the fell came to be chosen.



This is the ideal book for a first-time visitor or walker, and it will reintroduce those already familiar with the series to forgotten pleasures, treasures and stories.
