Alfred Wainwright MBE is a local legend and known the world-over for his extensive knowledge of the Lake District fells … so-much-so, that his series of seven volumes of Lakeland walks adds up to a whopping 214 Lakeland fells, and have become a ‘must-do’ list for many visiting and living in the Lakes.
To help you ‘check a few off’ while you’re staying at The Langdale Estate and Brimstone Hotel, we’ve created a handy map detailing the Wainwrights that are within easy(ish) reach of Langdale.
