THE EASTERN
FELLS
'In the area of the Eastern Fells the greatest single mass of high
ground in Lakeland is concentrated. It takes the form of a
tremendous barrier running north and south, consistently high and
steep throughout its length, mainly having an altitude between 2500'
- 3000', in two places only falling below 2000' and rising above
3000' on Helvellyn. ...
The geographical boundaries of the area are distinct. In shape
it is a long inverted triangle, covering about fifty square miles of
territory, based on Ambleside. The western boundary is formed
by the deep trough of Dunmail Raise and Thirlmere, a great rift of
which the principal road across the district takes advantage; the
eastern boundary is the trench of Kirkstone Pass and Ullswater, and
the northern is the broad Keswick to Penrith gap.'
