Wainwright's illustrated walking guide to the Lake District. Book 4, Southern Fells

Wainwright, Alfred2017
Books, Manuscripts
One name above all others has become associated with walking in the Lake District: Alfred Wainwright, whose seven-volume 'Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells', first published in 1955-66, has become the definitive guidebook. Wainwright's meticulously hand-drawn maps, diagrams and drawings take walkers up the principal hills and mountains of the Lake District, describing the main routes of ascent from different starting points, as well as lesser-known variants, showing the summit viewpoint panoramas and the ridge routes that can be made to create longer walks. Every page combines words and illustrations to present the routes in a way that is original, visually appealing and easy to follow.
