Wainwright (topp)

Klassifisering av fjell
på De britiske øyer

En wainwright er en topp i den engelske nasjonalparken Lake District som har omtale i Alfred Wainwrights syvbindsverk Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. Toppene er lokalt kjent som fells.

I bokverket sitt beskrev Wainwright i alt 214 topper, som har fått hans navn som samlebetegnelse. Det er ingen krav til absolutt høyde eller primærfaktor, kun at Wainwright mente de var verdt å ta med.

I 1974 ga Alfred Wainwright ut supplementsbindet The Outlying Fells of Lakeland, der han beskriver ytterligere 116 topper.

Each of the books describes each of the fells and the area which surrounds it, with plenty of helpful information and beautiful hand-drawn pictures.»
