Book excerpt: This guidebook to walking the highest mountains in the Lake District includes 30 high level and fell walks including Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, Skiddaw, and the Fairfield Horseshoe. Covering some of England's finest and highest mountain scenery, in the UK's most popular national park, this guide features classic routes as well as quieter favourites. The 30 walks are divided into 6 sections, covering the best walking in the Lake District: the Keswick area, Borrowdale and Buttermere, the Western Valleys, Coniston and Langdale, Ambleside, Grasmere and Windermere, or Ullswater. From 7-23km and graded for difficulty, the walks combine Lakeland classics with lesser-known adventures. From classic horseshoes, such as the Newlands Round and the Fairfield Horseshoe, and traditional ascents of England's most iconic mountains, including its highest peaks Scafell Pike, Scafell, Helvellyn and Skiddaw, to routes onto some of the quieter summits including Gray Crag and Beda Fell, or quieter routes onto popular fells including Blencathra and Red Screes. The guidebook includes OS map extracts, variant routes and lots of information to enhance your walking, from historical, geological and wildlife detail, to advice on travelling to and around the Lake District, and how to best prepare for an excellent day out on the fells.
