SCROLL DOWN FOR YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD ROUTES

Need a complete guide to the very finest walks in Lakeland? That's handy - it's in your new issue of Country Walking!

Taking our cue from the greatest fellwalker of them all, Alfred Wainwright, we've selected the grandest hills, the biggest views, the most beautiful valleys and the most rewarding routes, and compiled them in one amazing guide.

From the grandeur of the Scafells and Blencathra to the gorgeous views from little gems like Cat Bells and Helm Crag, to the quiet pool which is Wainwright's final resting place, this issue will give you all you need to make the Lakes' greatest walks your very own.

Each comes complete with routecard or map-based guide, showing you how to access these special places yourself.

Plus you'll meet a man with Wainwright's voice, and discover why there was one summit which the Lakes legend never conquered...
