Well it's been a few years since Wainwright's guide books were first published, so I guess that his division into seven regions has stood the test of time & will suffice for my purpose.

The map shows the seven regions which Wainwright created.  Click on a region to review all the fells listed by Wainwright in his guide books.

Northern Fells
circular in shape, is completely severed by all other fells within the Lake District by Bassenthwaite Lake, the Vale of Keswick and the low country of the Glenderamackin River

North Western Fells
occupy a compact area, elliptical in shape, with clearly defined boundaries formed by the River Derwent and River Cocker

Central Fells
occupy the area between Borrowdale in the west down to Stake Pass and across Great Langdale in the south bordering upon Dunmail Raise in the east through St John's Vale to Keswick

Eastern Fells
lie between Thirlmere and Dunmail Raise in the west and Ullswater and Kirstone Pass in the east

Far Eastern Fells
lie to the east of Kirkstone Pass & to the south east of Ullswater

Western Fells
lie between Crummock Water, Buttermere and Honister Pass and Sty Head Pass to Wastwater

Southern Fells
lie to the southeast of Wastwater and Borrowdale and to the south of Great Langdale
