Publisher's Synopsis
Ready for adventure in the Lake District Fells? Cicerone's Walking the Lake District Fells guides are your ultimate fell-by-fell companions. A series of eight guidebooks, one for each of the main valley bases, cover ALL the routes up ALL the fells in each area - that's 230 fells in total.
This guidebook covers 25 Lakeland summits that can be climbed from the valleys of Wasdale, Eskdale and Ennerdale. Quieter and wilder than the eastern side of the national park, highlights include Great Gable, Pillar, Yewbarrow and Scafell, as well as England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike. Also included are a handful of classic ridge routes for longer fell days.
Those with some previous hiking experience will find all the info needed to climb the fells with confidence, plus a fresh perspective on both classic and lesser-known fells. Keen summit-baggers can use our tick lists to tick off the fells as they go.
