Walk the Wainwrights in The Lake District


First published in the Westmorland Gazette in the 1950's, Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells comprises seven volumes listing 214 mountains and tops - each with its own chapter.

 

Often considered the definitive Lake District list (and the one most people start with) all are accessible to the average fell walker.

Walk the wainwrights by Lake District Area

In publishing his mountain guides Alfred Wainwright divided the Lake District into seven areas. These 7 areas (and the number of Wainwrights in each) are:

 

The Central Fells (27) | The Eastern Fells (35)

The Far Eastern Fells (36) | The Northern Fells (24)

The North Western Fells (29) | The Southern Fells (30)

The Western Fells (33)

 

For people who really enjoy walking and hiking, Peak Bagging isn't about slavishly ticking lists and then bragging about it in the pub. Its about experiencing new hills and mountains you might not otherwise have thought of walking on. It can be a lot of fun and immensely satisfying too!
