“… a low hill, with a summit worthy of a mountain” was AW’s tribute to Arnison Crag.  This map features the route up from the invariable starting point, Patterdale, and the (sometimes) onward route to St Sunday Crag.  Sometimes in brackets to acknowledge a walk up to the summit of Arnison Crag is a worthy objective for the view over the head of Ullswater alone.

This map has been created from the original sketches of AW's guidebooks which have been trimmed, tweaked and teased together to form a single seamless map, as if drawn by AW's own hands.

The Ivory and Black versions of the Wainwright Maps pay homage to the pen and ink style of Wainwright's draughtsmanship with raven black ink set against a calming ivory backdrop.

Printed on  high-quality, classic semi-glossy paper with a subtle shine.  The paper is a sturdy and durable 170 gsm (65 lb), thickness: 0.19 mm (7.5 mils), and is FSC-certified or equivalent for sustainability.

Wainwright Maps are not fit for navigation on the fells, being based on Wainwright's original guidebooks which have not been updated since first publication in the 1950s and 60s.

Wainwright Maps are taken from material in Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells published by Frances Lincoln, an imprint of the Quarto Publishing Group.  The Pictorial Guides and the Wainwright Signature are copyright the estate of A. Wainwright.
