Walks on the Howgill Fells

Alfred Wainwright, author of the inimitable best-selling Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, here describes thirty-two walks in this distinctly beautiful and compact group of hills between Lakeland and the Yorkshire Dales. For lovers of solitude, here on the Howgills is fellwalking par excellence. Each walk has its particular charm or special objective. Each is the subject of a separate chapter containing a diagram, a map, and an illustrated narrative. Walk on the Howgill Fells was first published in 1972. For this new revised edition, every footpath has been re-walked, and every map and diagram checked by Chris Jesty, who assisted with the maps on Wainwright's last two large-format books. It is now fully up to date for 21st century walkers.
