This list is from the Database of British and Irish Hills ("DoBIH") in October 2018, and are peaks the DoBIH marks as being Wainwrights ("W"). [b] [13] DoBIH also updates the measurements as surveys are recorded, so these tables should not be amended unless the entire DoBIH data is re-downloaded; these measurements may differ slightly from the "By Book" section, which are from older sources.
Wainwright divided the fells into seven geographical areas, each surrounded by valleys and low passes. While any such division must be arbitrary-and later writers have deviated to a greater or lesser extent from this blueprint- [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Wainwright's sevenfold division remains the best known partitioning of the fells into 'sub ranges', each ...
The list at the back of Wainwright's book contains 110 named fells and summits. Close inspection shows seven of them to refer to other hills in the list, while Newton Fell has two summits. Thus: Cartmel Fell is the same as Ravens Barrow (page 42). Hollow Moor is the summit of Green Quarter Fell (page 14).
It is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. [1] It reaches 803 feet (245 m) and is surmounted by a monument, but Wainwright, unusually, makes no comment on the monument's age or purpose, merely mentioning this "... elegant obelisk being prominently in view from Hawkshead and the Ambleside district."

An outlier of High Spy in the 'Jaws of Borrowdale', Castle Crag is listed as a separate fell by Wainwright. The central area is based around two parallel east-west ridges. The southerly line begins above Derwent Water with the knobbly outline of Causey Pike and then marches west over Scar Crags, Sail, Eel Crag, Wandope and finally Grasmoor ...
Quicksand, they say, pulls you in deepest when you struggle the hardest, and the Cardinals’ collective heads seem to be just above the morass.
Wainwright stated that the 1,971 feet (601 m) top was generally regarded as the summit of the fell, although he cited no references. [1] Other guidebooks have taken Wainwright's lead, Mark Richards stating Stand upon that (northern) pike and you know why tradition has ordained this to be the summit. The view down Borrowdale is peerless.
