  Lakeland Fellranger is a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to every path, crag, fell and valley in the Lake District. This text covers Great Langdale to Keswick. The series combines the best of the Wainwright guides - the traditional feel of the pen and ink sketches and the personal touch of hand-drawn maps - with the desires of the 21st-century walker - accurate maps and directions and inspirational colour photographs - all packed into an easy-to-use, portable format. The books are written and illustrated by one person, adding to the personality of the books. Each of the four volumes in the series covers every Fell in their range, each illustrated with colour photographs, a detailed cartographic map taken from the Harvey Maps Superwalker series, and numerous landscape maps.

  Lakeland Fellranger guidebook covering 28 summits in the Central Fells of the Lake District, including a variety of ascents in the high ground between Great Langdale and Keswick. The area is flanked to the west by Stake Pass, Langstrath, Borrowdale and Derwentwater, and to the east by Grasmere, Dunmail Raise and Thirlmere. Each of the 28 fells has a dedicated chapter describing a plethora of walking routes of differing characters and difficulties (from wide bridleways up to easy scrambles), which can easily be combined to make ascents, descents, traverses or ridge routes. The chapter begins with a customised Harvey map that illustrates the routes, and shows ridge connections to neighbouring fells to assist in the planning of extended walks. In many instances pen and ink drawn diagrams show the routes from a given perspective to assist visualisation. The guidebook is fully illustrated throughout with clear elevation diagrams, detailed summit panoramas and lots of inspiring photographs. The Central Fells is part of the eight-volume Lakeland Fellranger series by Mark Richards. Together they provide a comprehensive guide to explore and enjoy the fells of the Lake District, with a selection of routes up more than 220 hills.
