Land of the Lakes
Beautiful big photographs are a feature of our lakes lists. Details of all eighteen stretches of water from the magnificent Windermere to the tiny Tarn Hows.

The highest mountains
Wastwater below Great Gable, Britain’s favourite view, heads our popular top twenty mountains lists. Do you know what the 20th highest is?

Dare you do the
Via Ferrata?
Borrowdales latest attraction, and the only one of its kind in England, the Via Ferrata takes you safely up the face of Fleetwith Pike. We’ve done it, dare you?

My favourite views
Local reader Charlotte Williamson picked Wastwater as one of hers long before the TV show voted it the winner! Good taste these Whitehaven photographers.

Town Trails
A closer look at some of the pretty towns and villages of Cumbria.

Where was the biggest bridge in Britain?
Chances are you’ve never heard of the Solway Viaduct and you didn’t know it was knocked over by icebergs!

Safety on the fells
Don’t get yourself into trouble, like the chap who left his tent in the dark for a wee and couldn’t find it again!!! He had to call out the mountain rescue. Dear oh dear.

Wastwater
How to get to see Britain’s Favourite View.

Birkett’s Fells
You might have heard of Wainwright’s 214 fell tops but not many have climbed all of Bill’s 541!

Get up there!
Another five fells to walk on your next visit. Nothing scary just the favourites in this issue.

A Grasmere churchyard
There’s more to this corner of Grasmere than first meets the eye! Meet WW’s friends and family.
