The Southern Fells was the fourth book published by Alfred Wainwright in 1960. The book covers the 30 fells from Borrowdale in the north to Walna Scar Pass in the south, its eastern border being Wasdale and the western Skelwith. AW’s description – “The Southern Fells comprise two well defined mountain systems.
The larger is the Scafell – Bowfell massif, which forms a great arc around the head of Eskdale; it is bounded by Wasdale in the west and eastwards by the headwaters of the Duddon and the Brathay, while to the north the high ground descends into Borrowdale and Great Langdale".
