'They are not, and never will be, a popular magnet,' was Wainwright's view of the Howgill Fells; instead, he argued, 'Here is a pervading tranquillity.'
Tonight he introduces
Eric Robson to this neglected group of Cumbrian hills just north of Sedbergh. In addition to viewing the spectacular waterfall at
Cautley Spout, reliving the history of Fox's Pulpit and savouring the quiet beauty of Bowderdale, the pair begin their exploration on the western fringes of the Howgills.
It's here, using the profits from his books, that
Wainwright has funded an animal sanctuary that reflects his great concern for their welfare.
