The Southern Fells area is bounded in the west by Wast Water and in the east by Windemere. It extends north as far as Stonethwaite in Borrowdale and south to Coniston. The Southern Fells includes the highest peaks in the Lake District, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. The area includes 30 Wainwrights, which are described in Book Four of Alfred Wainwright’s Walking Guide to the Lake District Fells plus 15 fells described in the Fellranger guides, giving a total of 45.
