This boxed set contains all seven of the Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells by the fell walking legend, A. Wainwright. For this Anniversary edition the pages were freshly reproduced from the original artwork and printed and bound to match the original books as closely as possible. Maps and text are as Wainwright wrote them. Since the guides were compiled half a century ago, they have been treasured by generations of walkers, and television programmes in the year of the centenary of Wainwright’s birth introduced them to new enthusiasts. There were no guides like these before Wainwright devised them, and in the years since they were first published, they have never been matched. This boxed set of all seven books is the perfect gift for walkers and lovers of the Lakeland fells.

Reviews:

• Love walking in The Lakes? Then you’ll love these – used in conjunction with a full OS map and compass, they offer a great choice of routes which are interesting so you can cut down the time spent working out where to go! This set is an all time classic that will also take you a while to go through – enjoy!

• Full set of Wainwright books at a fraction of the price offered by other sellers. Item was brand new and in perfect condition and also arrived very quickly. Unbelievable value and I never tire of picking up one of these books and browsing through them.

Alfred Wainwright MBE (17 January 1907 – 20 January 1991), who preferred to be known as A. Wainwright or A.W., was a British fellwalker, guidebook author and illustrator. His seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, published between 1955 and 1966 and consisting entirely of reproductions of his manuscript, has become the standard reference work to 214 of the fells of the English Lake District. Among his 40-odd other books is the first guide to the Coast to Coast Walk, a 182-mile (293-kilometer) long-distance footpath devised by Wainwright which remains popular today.
