context_page_description: Wainwrights are the 214 English peaks described in A. Wainwright's seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells. They all lie within the boundary of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, and all but one are over 1,000 feet 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, which includes another 116 summits; 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 classed as one of the 541 Birketts. Wainwrights cover a wide range of heights, from major mountains such as the highest Wainwright, Scafell Pike at 978 metres, to Castle Crag, the smallest Wainwright at 290 metres.
context_section_description: The Northern Fells cover a circular area north of Keswick. The range is bordered to the west by Bassenthwaite Lake, the River Greta in the south and Caldew river bounds the eastern edge of the group, flowing away toward Carlisle. It is the smallest group by total number of hills.
