Fell Walking in Cumbria

The Lake District is a walker's paradise with literally hundreds of walks available from the most leisurely tea shop stroll to treks lasting several days. Even when taking a leisurely stroll make sure you are fully prepared with adequate clothing, footwear and even sun lotion. The weather can be unpredictable when fell walking in the lake district. Each year Mountain Rescue need to perform a number of rescues from the fells and each year, sadly, people die on the fells. Don't be a casualty, don't take risks.

The expert on walking in the Lake District is Wainwright. His books including Fellwalking with Wainwright are available at Amazon.

Maps and photos of many fell walks can be found at Walk The Fells
