Wainwright Walks Series 2
Episode 6 of 6

Series in which Julia Bradbury explores the work of fell walker and author Alfred Wainwright. From Ennerdale, she ascends one of Wainwright's favourite fells, Pillar.

Series in which Julia Bradbury explores the Lake District landscape that inspired the great British fell walker and author Alfred Wainwright to produce his beautifully crafted guidebooks.

Julia faces more climbing than walking as she sets out on one of the most dramatic Lakeland routes. From the remote valley of Ennerdale, she starts the ascent to one of Wainwright's favourite fells - Pillar. The route takes her past cliffs, along ledges and over the Lake District's most famous crag, Pillar Rock.
