Tryfan’s North Ridge is perhaps Britain’s ultimate grade one scramble. Nothing quite matches the thrill of approaching its magnificent shark’s fin form and picking your way through its labyrinth of beautiful, jumbled rock to the iconic Adam and Eve summit. Once done, Glyder Fach’s Bristly Ridge awaits…

The perfect mountain in miniature, Catbells is adored by many. Its camel hump summit hogs the limelight in views across Derwentwater, despite being more diminutive than its neighbours, at just 1,480 feet (451 m). If you were to design a fell to be the ideal introduction to hillwalking, it would look…

Rising above all else in Lakeland’s serene Far Eastern Fells, High Street is a mountain with a rich history. It’s named for the Roman road that runs along its broad main ridge, connecting the Roman forts of Brocavum (near Penrith) and Galava (Ambleside). The fell is also known as Racecourse Hill, as…

Few can claim to know Cumbria’s high places as well as Alfred Wainwright did. The great hillwalker’s Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells changed the fabric of the Lake District forever. Of all the myriad routes up the 214 hills and mountains featured in his masterpieces, it was Blencathra via Halls…

England’s highest mountain is the crowning glory of the Scafells, a range of rugged peaks thrust high above a complex tangle of glacier-carved volcanic terrain. The upper ramparts are true mountain country, with impressively towering crags, boulder-strewn crests and a sense of desolation at odds with…

There will always be debate around which is Lakeland’s finest mountain. Great Gable, its impressive form unmistakable from so many summit vantage points, is almost always considered in such a discussion. While Helvellyn and Blencathra flaunt the best walker’s ridges and the Scafell massif boasts the…

The watery, knuckled and rugged terrain of the northern Moelwynion is the setting for this hike. Wild swimmers will be spoilt for choice, with several gorgeous mountain llyns to choose from. The almost circular Llyn Llagi nestles in a cwm beneath the ‘Welsh Matterhorn’ of Cnicht; Llyn yr Adar and its…

This isn’t so much a wild swim walk as a magnificent hike that can act as a precursor to a wild swim in the River Etive’s Triple Falls. This series of cascades is handily located just off the Glen Etive road that winds down from the western end of Rannoch Moor. A system of tiered waterfalls, dark pools…

This adventure to England’s two highest summits explores the breathlessly remote-feeling Upper Eskdale. It’s one of the few places in the Lake District that retains a sense of wilderness. The scenery is jaw-dropping and, in Tongue Pot, you’ve got yourself a wild swimming spot that’s the stuff of dreams…
Few mountain profiles in the UK are as instantly recognisable or as arresting as the Langdale Pikes when viewed from the south east. It doesn’t matter whether you’re glancing towards Lakeland from the M6, admiring them from the traffic jams that often form on the approach to Ambleside from Kendal, or…
