This is a guide to the various idyllic rambling trails in and around Cartmel and Furness, two villages in Cumbria, England. It includes geographical and historical information, as well as detailed directions to some of the best routes for walking and sightseeing. Highly recommended for those with an interest in English Rambling. Contents include: 'Gummer's How and Cartmel Fell', 'The Western Side of Windermere', 'Dale Part and Grizedale', 'Rusland Valley', 'Top O'Selside', 'Around Grange', 'The Sands Closing', 'Humphrey Head and Wraysholme Tower', 'Cartmel Sands and Chapel Island', 'Vale of Cartmel', 'Holker Moss', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with the original text and images.
The Eastern Fells include the greatest single concentrated mass of high ground in Lakeland: a tremendous barrier running north and south, high and steep all along its length, rising to above 3000 feet on Helvellyn – the most-often climbed mountain in the Lake District. Popular resorts such as Ambleside and Grasmere lie in this sector of the fells, as does the beautiful Patterdale valley (the best base, in Wainwright's view, for exploring the area). The Pictorial Guides by A. Wainwright, written half a century ago, have been treasured by generations of walkers. This edition of The Eastern Fells is freshly reproduced from Wainwright's original hand-drawn pages.
North Lonsdale is officially known as Lonsdale and is a large valley that includes portions of Lancashire and Westmoreland Counties.
This is the legendary A. Wainwright's guide to his selection of 56 'foothills' in Lakeland, brilliantly revised and updated by Chris Jesty. The outings described here with typical eloquence and humour were chosen by Wainwright with a particular readership in mind: 'those walkers who, because of age or infirmity, must be content with milder expeditions on lesser fells.' This guide is packed with gems of outstanding beauty which you don't have to be super-fit to enjoy: Orrest Head, where Wainwright's love affair with the Lake District began; Scout Scar, 'a pleasure every step of the way'; Beacon Fell, 'the epitome of that appeals to fellwalkers'; and many, many others. All the walks fall within the boundaries of the National Park. In the second edition, the main routes are picked out in red for greater visibility, and parking information is given where possible.
