Alfred Wainwright

    Alfred Wainwright was a self-taught cartographer and author whose deep love for the Lake District fueled his extensive body of work. His guides are renowned for their meticulous hand-drawn maps and detailed observations, born from countless hours spent traversing the fells. Wainwright's writings are more than mere navigational tools; they are heartfelt testaments to the beauty and solitude of the mountains. His unique artistic style and intimate connection with the landscape offer readers a profound appreciation for the natural world.

      Limestone country covers the north of England areas of the Yorkshire Dales and Pennine Spur. It is a landscape full of green fields and grey stone walls, limestone pavements - such as at Malham Cove - and limestone scars. The book recalls many walks there that the author has made, which he wrote about in his book walks in the limestone country. This book is illustrated with colour photographs by Ed Geldard.

    • Wainwright has selected 20 of Lakeland's principal fells which have the status of mountains and rather than describing a walk up, around and down each, his copy is more a celebration of each - he describes the particular attributes of each, the views from each top, and any outliers which have particular merit. Derry Brabb's photographs complement his text superbly.
