Wainwright's Guides to the Lakeland Fells and Other Locations is a series collecting together the reproduced volumes of the great fell walker Wainwright’s famous hand drawn and written exhaustive guide to the Lake District in seven volumes plus an additional volume for minor fells (hardback, pocket size) and some related north of England titles..

Each guide contains a written description, hand drawn maps, and topographical diagrams of each route of ascent, sketches and often panoramas of the summit view, for all the hills in the area, along with available ridge routes to adjacent hills. Difficult areas are detailed in sketches and extra diagrams. There are a number of Wainwright titles, some in the Wainwright style and some collaborations with photographs, most of the current editions have been unobtrusively updated Chris Jesty for the twenty first century, with information such as car parks and campsites, and with paths actually in use on the ground shown in red, text changes are achieved by use of a "Wainwright" font.
