Walking the Lake District Fells - Langdale

Cicerone’s Walking the Lake District Fells guides are your ultimate fell-by-fell companions to the Lake District fells. 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 25 fells accessible from the Great Langdale Valley, Grasmere and Ambleside. The area offers stunning scenery and fantastic walking, from charming Loughrigg to eye-catching Helm Crag, from the lofty heights of Bowfell to the iconic Langdale Pikes. England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, is also included in this volume as are a handful of classic ridge routes for longer fell days.

Ideal both for pre-planning and use on the hill, keen hillwalkers will find all the info needed to climb the fells with confidence, plus a fresh perspective on both classic and lesser-known fells. If you’re a summit-bagger you can use our tick lists to check off the fells as you climb them.
