Over the years one may hear the name Wainwright spoken with reverence but not fully realise why he is so revered. Once you have opened one of his pictorial guides you immediately understand why. It is only a year ago that I started walking on the hills of North Yorkshire and Durham and this year I am planning several walks in the Lake District hence my purchase of these books. The information in these books is clear, detailed and informative. While written fifty years ago and therefore to some extent out of date they are nonetheless an invaluable aid for planning a walk. When I compare the wealth of information which can be gleaned from the pages of these books with that found on walking websites the books are far superior. These books are a pleasure and a delight to read in themselves and anyone purchasing them will surely be as pleased with them as I am.Read full review

I have contemplated buying these books for a number of years but now I wish I had bought them sooner! They are fantastic, little hand drawn pictures and little anecdotes from Wainwright, some of which are so funny! You find yourself spinning them round and orientating them as if you were walking the routes and seeing the landscapes for real. Absolutely lovely little set!

A beautiful boxed set that is timeless in its appeal. Beautiful illustrations and room in the margins to add your own notes, never thought I would suggest writing in a guide book, but these pocket sized marvels beg to become a personalised pocket guide to your Wainwright journey.

We used the Wainwright coast to coast book on that walk interesting to read and lovely drawings . This set was fantastic value and looking forward to taking them on some of the walks don’t think I’ll get them all done but a great set of books to keep and pass on

Wonderful guide books to the Lakeland Fells and the surrounding land of the Lake District. My daughters spent 5 months in the North West Lake District recently and these books bring much joy to them as they relive the hikes and exploration of their days climbing the fells and discovering the treasures of the lands and lakes. The artwork in the books is amazing!
