Wainwright (hill)
Wainwrights are the 214 English peaks (known locally as ''fells'') described in Alfred Wainwright's seven-volume ''Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'' (1955–66). They all lie within the boundary of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, and all but one (Castle Crag) are over in height. Over two million copies of the ''Pictorial Guides'' have been sold since their publication. In 1974, Wainwright published a supplementary volume ''The Outlying Fells of Lakeland'' (1974), which includes another 116 summits (described in 56 walks); these are the Wainwright Outlying Fells. Summiting all of the Wainwrights is a popular form of peak bagging in the Lake District, along with the Birketts. Because both lists are based on historical books, unlike, for example, the Munros, their constituents remain fixed, regardless of revisions to height or other metrics. In this regard, they are similar to the Scottish lowlands, Donalds. There are 214 Wainwrights, of which 209 are also c ...
