Fell Walking

In Britain, the term hillwalking or fellwalking is normally used to describe the recreational practice of walking in hilly or mountainous terrain.

Fellwalking is particularly used to refer to hill or mountain walks in the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales in Northern England as fell is the preferred term for both features in those parts of England.

A good portion of the Lake District's mountains, or fells, are fairly moderate in difficulty, and exploring them and the area is known as "fell walking" or "hill walking" . It is important to research the area where you will be traveling prior to planning your trip so that the proper preparations can be made for both terrain and weather.
