Walk The Wonderful Wainwrights By Height

Many of us love challenges. Challenges that push us beyond what we would normally do. Some of us even take on challenges for charity, raising money for a good cause whilst pushing our limits. If you love the Lake District, why not walk in the footsteps of Alfred Wainwright? The mountains and fells of Lakeland provide some of the most incredible views. However, with us all having different levels of fitness, you might want to check out the list of Wainwrights by height to pick the fells you want to conquer.

Who Was Alfred Wainwright?

Firstly, the Wainwrights are named after Alfred Wainwright, who lived between 1907 and 1991. He was a British fell walker, illustrator and guidebook author. He penned the seven-volume Pictoral Guide to the Lakeland Fells which has become the standard reference to the 214 fells of the Lake District. These 214 fells range in height from just under 1000ft in height to 3210ft. Wainwright’s ashes were scattered at Innominate Tarn at the top of Haystacks, his favourite mountain.

You may have heard of some of the more popular fells such as Helvellyn and Great Gable. These can often be filled with walkers taking on their own Wainwrights by height. However there are plenty of other options on the list of Wainwrights by height that you can hike and find solitude. Furthermore, the list below gives all 214 of the Wainwrights by height, with the name, height and region or location of the Lake District where the fell is situated.

For Fitness, Friendship & Fun

Many of us have different reasons for climbing fells. Some of us might wish to improve our fitness, in which case you should check out these easy Wainwrights for free fitness. Others may wish to spend time with friends on the fells, chatting and exploring. Perhaps you want to try and tick off each and every fell on the list of Wainwrights by height? Many people have a favourite fell they return to again and again whilst others only visit each one once. Some spend mere minutes on top of each mountain whilst others may decide to wild camp there. Now is the time to jump into that campervan and enjoy some time in Lakeland.

In conclusion, start ticking off those mountains on your list of Wainwrights by height. Find your happy place on the fells and witness incredible sunrise, fabulous sunsets and all the different seasons on the mountains. Remember, take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints.
