Wainwright's Lakeland & England's North Country

On Lakeland's Far Eastern Fells

AW shows Eric Robson some of the delights still to be discovered above Haweswater. They enter the valley on the "Old Corpse Road" from Shap and survey its full extent at the summit of High Street. Wainwright recalls his first visit there more than 50 years ago to see Mardale before it was flooded and where now "there's nothing left but ghosts."
