The Wainwright Map of the Eastern Fells features all 35 fells from Volume One of Wainwright's Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells.  This region is bordered by Ambleside, Thirlmere, St John's in the Vale, Ullswater and the Kirkstone Pass.  It includes the Helvellyn and Fairfield ranges.

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 colourised versions of the Wainwright Maps are inspired by the colours of the Lake District and the styling of Bartholomew's 1 inch map to the Lake District which Wainwright described as "a beautiful picture, fit for a fame".

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 1955-1966.
