Far Eastern Fells : ウィキペディア英語版 | Far Eastern Fells
The Far Eastern Fells are a group of hills in the English Lake District. Reaching their highest point at High Street (828 metres or 2,718 ft) they occupy a broad area to the east of Ullswater and Kirkstone Pass. Much quieter than the central areas of Lakeland they offer in general easier but less exciting walking as the fells merge mainly into the surrounding moorlands. Exceptions however are the fine rock scenery to be seen on Harter Fell, Mardale Ill Bell and High Street surrounding the head of Haweswater ==Partition of the Lakeland Fells==
The Lake District is a National Park in the north west of the country which, in addition to its lakes, contains a complex range of hills. These are locally known as fells and range from low hills to the highest ground in England. Hundreds of tops exist and many writers have attempted to draw up definitive lists. In doing so the compilers frequently divide the range into smaller areas to aid their description. The most influential of all such authors was Alfred Wainwright whose ''Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'' series has sold in excess of 2 million copies,〔(: The Wainwright Society - The Alfred Wainwright Centenary 2007 )〕 being in print continuously since the first volume was published in 1952. 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〔Birkett, Bill: Complete Lakeland Fells: Collins Willow (1994) ISBN 0-00-218406-0〕〔Richards, Mark: Lakeland Fellranger series: Collins (2002)ff: example ISBN 0-00-711367-6〕 — Wainwright's sevenfold division remains the best known partitioning of the fells into 'sub ranges', each with its own characteristics. The Far Eastern Fells are one of these divisions, covered by volume 2 of Wainwright's work.〔Alfred Wainwright: ''A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'', Book 2: ISBN 0-7112-2455-2〕
