The Far Eastern Fells

Alfred Wainwright’s Book Two, The Far Eastern Fells looks at a group of hills in the English Lake District. The Far Eastern Fells occupy the area to the east of Ullswater and the Kirkstone Pass. This area is far quieter than the central fells with less in the way of accommodation and facilities. Although you may find yourself alone in the Far Eastern Fells, some argue that walking here is less exciting. I love this area and there is a challenge to be found alongside some pretty extraordinary views.

The highest point in the Far Eastern Fells is High Street at 828m, although you don’t need to get high to get the goods in the part of the Lakes. With stunning views from smaller fells such as, Hallin Fell or Steel Knotts there is plenty to suit everyone here.

The Far Eastern Fells chapter in Wainwright covers the long, varied ridges encompassing well-known summits such as High Street, Place Fell, and Angletarn Pikes. Key access points and towns include Ambleside and Patterdale alongside Pooley Bridge or Howtown for routes into the High Street/Haweswater area.
