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.

      First published in 1973, A. Wainwright's Coast to Coast is the most authoritative and useful guide to one of the world’s most beautiful walks. It covers rights of way and areas of open access between the Irish Sea and the North Sea and passes through three of Great Britain’s National the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North Yorkshire Moors, all areas of outstanding beauty. Providing a wide and varied range of scenery with changing landscapes over a distance of 190 miles, it is one of the most challenging and rewarding of long-distance walks. This new edition has been updated to reflect minor changes in the terrain, and many of the original photographs, taken by Derry Brabbs and first published in 1987, have been retaken by the legendary lakeland photographer. The result is the transformation of a superb guidebook into one that is truly sublime.
