This section is broken down to follow the different geographical areas used by Wainwright to divide his Pictorial Guides.
Sitting between Derwent Water and Borrowdale, and Thurlmere and the Dunmail Raise. Includes such luminaries as the Langdale Pikes and High Raise.
Between the Keswick to Ambleside road, and Ullswater, you'll find the Eastern Fells. Includes Fairfield and Helvellyn.
All of Lakeland that is the east of the Kirkstone Pass.
Tucked away near Keswick can be found Catbells, Grisedale Pike and more.
A large cluster of fells to the north of Keswick.
Fells to the of Great Langdale, Borrowdale and Wasdale as well as those around Eskdale.
On the far edge of Lakeland, stand the fells to the West of Crummock Water and Buttermere. A quieter part of the fells but a beautiful one.
