About the book
Alfred Wainwright's Complete Pictorial Guides brings together his seven guides to the Lakeland Fells with The Outlying Fells of Lakeland, Pennine Way Companion and A Coast to Coast Walk. Maps, drawings and carefully observed descriptions turn routes and summits into an invitation to explore northern England on foot. The Lake District is at the collection's heart, but the longer walks extend its reach across changing landscapes and demanding terrain. Wainwright's mixture of practical guidance, personal judgement and affection for the hills gives these books an appeal that reaches beyond the planning of a particular day's walk.
