This is the legendary A. Wainwright's guide to his selection of 56 'foothills' in Lakeland, brilliantly revised and updated by Chris Jesty. The outings described here with typical eloquence and humour were chosen by Wainwright with a particular readership in mind: 'those walkers who, because of age or infirmity, must be content with milder expeditions on lesser fells.' This guide is packed with gems of outstanding beauty which you don't have to be super-fit to enjoy: Orrest Head, where Wainwright's love affair with the Lake District began; Scout Scar, 'a pleasure every step of the way'; Beacon Fell, 'the epitome of that appeals to fellwalkers'; and many, many others. All the walks fall within the boundaries of the National Park. In the second edition, the main routes are picked out in red for greater visibility, and parking information is given where possible.

All the essential ingredients of a mountain landscape grandeur, beauty, ruggedness can be found in the Lake District, yet on a comparatively small scale, making the region welcoming rather than forbidding. From almost all the major peaks there are views of peaceful, wooded valleys, giving the region an essential 'Englishness' which distinguishes it from the Scottish Highlands and nearby Snowdonia and inspiring some of William Wordsworth's most romantic poetry.
