Keswick and the north - Mark Richards

Ready for adventure in the Lake District Fells? Cicerone's Walking the Lake District Fellsguides 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 30 Lakeland summits accessible from Keswick, Whinlatter, Bassenthwaite, Caldbeck, Mungrisdale and Threlkeld. Highlights include Skiddaw, Blencathra, Latrigg, Ullock Pike and Lonscale Fell. There's also wilderness walking on the quieter northern summits, and forested alternatives in the western Whinlatter group.

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.

What sets these guidebooks apart from the rest?
