Alfred Wainwright was een autodidactische cartograaf en auteur wiens diepe liefde voor het Lake District zijn omvangrijke oeuvre aanwakkerde. Zijn gidsen staan bekend om hun nauwgezette handgetekende kaarten en gedetailleerde observaties, voortgekomen uit talloze uren die hij doorbracht met het doorkruisen van de heuvels. Wainwrights geschriften zijn meer dan lmere navigatiehulpmiddelen; het zijn hartstochtelijke getuigenissen van de schoonheid en eenzaamheid van de bergen. Zijn unieke artistieke stijl en intieme verbinding met het landschap bieden lezers een diepe waardering voor de natuurlijke wereld.

Limestone country covers the north of England areas of the Yorkshire Dales and Pennine Spur. It is a landscape full of green fields and grey stone walls, limestone pavements - such as at Malham Cove - and limestone scars. The book recalls many walks there that the author has made, which he wrote about in his book walks in the limestone country. This book is illustrated with colour photographs by Ed Geldard.
A. Wainwright's guide to one of the world's great long-distance walks - 190 miles from the Irish Sea to the North Sea by way of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, newly reproduced from his original 1973 manuscript.
Wainwright has selected 20 of Lakeland's principal fells which have the status of mountains and rather than describing a walk up, around and down each, his copy is more a celebration of each - he describes the particular attributes of each, the views from each top, and any outliers which have particular merit. Derry Brabb's photographs complement his text superbly.
