The Wainwright in The Lake District

First published in the Westmorland Gazette in the 1950's, Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells comprises seven volumes listing 214 mountains and tops - each with its own chapter.

Often considered the definitive Lake District list (and the one most people start with) all The Wainwrights are accessible to the average fell walker.

Peak Bagging the Wainwrights

Peak Bagging the Wainwrights is a way of discovering and experiencing new mountains, peaks, tops and hills that you might not have otherwise thought of walking on. Often in glorious solitude, well away from the crowded honeypots.

It can be a lot of fun, and immensely satisfying too!

To get started, see Peak Bagging - how to get started and then click on the links below to see the Wainwrights in each area of the Lake District on a interactive Google Map, or as a Detailed List.

On each option, you can record which Wainwrights you have climbed (or 'bagged') and see mouth-watering inspiration for your next walk.

To help you in your quest we also have a series of 59 walks, all well within the capabilities of any reasonably fit walker, that visit the summit of all 214 Wainwrights.

For full details, see Walk all 214 Wainwrights in just 59 Walks.

If you are planning a stay in Ambleside, here are 12 Wainwrights you can complete from Ambleside Town Centre. For full details, see Wainwright walks from Ambleside.
