The Northern Fells
A large cluster of fells to the north of Keswick, the Northern Fells are rather self-contained, but do include some mighty fells such as Blencathra, and the small but perfectly formed Latrigg.

Bannerdale Crags
Published 12 April 2017
With some nice crags, and a truly excellent cairn, can there be a finer place to visit than Bannerdale Crags?
Blencathra
Published 29 March 2017
Surely the highlight of any tour of the Blencathra range is this one; a fell that Wainwright counted as one of his favourites.
Bowscale Fell
Published 19 April 2017
A rather non-descript fell completes the Blencathra group, although a delightful tarn allows for some celebration.
Mungrisdale Common
Published 5 April 2017
Don’t go there, says Wainright. But we must because you put it in your book, says the fell bagger.
Souther Fell
Published 22 March 2017
All good tours of the Blencathra range should start with a fell that has a rather ghostly tale to tell.
