All the 17 walks shown on the popular Granada and BBC TV series, plus a bonus from the Outlying Fells, are covered in full in this handy book, bringing together more than 250 pages from the Pictorial Guides. Wainwright's old friend Eric Robson sets the scene for each walk with stories from the days he spent filming with the great fell-walker, adding his own personal impressions of the fell and the chosen ascent. Practical sections give the length of each route, the ascent in feet, the best O.S. map to take along, how to get to the start of the walk, and suggestions for the best route down. Here is all you need to get out and enjoy the Lakeland landscape -- and who better to take along as your guide than the one and only Alfred Wainwright -- much-loved British character and fell-walking legend.

This book helps discover the Lake District from a whole new perspective! Colin Shelbourn has put together 25 stunning waterside walks for your enjoyment, from the abundance of lakes, tarns, becks, rivers and waterfalls in this ever-popular walking region. They have a wide-ranging appeal, from walks along the shores of some of the most beautiful lakes to strolls beside rushing rivers and wild waterfalls. You can choose from a short stroll to a 16km (10ml) circular walk around the Queen of the Lakes, Derwent Water. Whatever the length or location you choose you'll meet with stunning scenery, a richness of wildlife, and many interesting places to visit, often a welcome distraction from the rudiments of pure walking. The colour photographs are magnificent, reflecting the beauty of the area through the seasons; the maps are exceptionally clear and easy to read; and, the additional fascinating facts add to the enjoyment of each walk leading you along, around and in some cases, even through water.
