The Eastern Fells

The Eastern Fells are located between Thirlmere and the A591 to the West and Ullswater and the Kirkstone Pass to the East. The fells peter out in the South near Ambleside and in the North as they approach the A66. The main spine of the Eastern Fells is the ridge that runs North South and which incorporates Helvellyn, the highest peak in the range and third highest Wainwright at 950 metres.

A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells - Book One: The Eastern Fells

The Eastern Fells was the second of seven books that Alfred Wainwright wrote in his bestselling walkers guidebook series, A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells. Wainwright originally thought the books wouldn't be very successful but the public loved them and still do to this day, spending many hours pouring over the words and intricate drawings of each fell.
