BBC Four - Wainwright Walks, Series 2, High Street

Julia Bradbury climbs 2,500ft to the summit of High Street in the Lakes.

Julia Bradbury follows in fell walker and author Alfred Wainwright's footsteps and climbs to the summit of High Street, the most well-trodden high ground in the Lakes.

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 guide books. 

Julia starts her walk in the quiet, mysterious valley of Mardale, where the local village was lost forever when the valley was flooded to create the Haweswater reservoir. The history continues as she climbs 2,500ft to the summit of High Street, the most well-trodden high ground in the Lakes. This was where Roman legions crossed the fells 2,000 years ago, making, quite literally, a high street.
