The [[Southern Fells]] occupy the southwestern quarter of the Lake District. They can be regarded as comprising a northern grouping between Wasdale, Eskdale, and the two Langdale valleys, a southeastern group east of Dunnerdale and south of Little Langdale, and a southwestern group bounded by Eskdale to the north and Dunnerdale to the east.

The first group includes England's highest mountains: [[Scafell Pike]] in the centre, at {{convert|3209|ft|m|order=flip|abbr=on}} and [[Scafell]] {{convert|1|mi|spell=in}} to the southwest. Though it is slightly lower, Scafell has a {{convert|700|ft|m|-1|abbr=on}} rockface, Scafell Crag, on its northern side. This group also includes the [[Wastwater Screes]] overlooking Wasdale, the [[Glaramara]] ridge overlooking Borrowdale, the three tops of [[Crinkle Crags]], [[Bowfell]] and [[Esk Pike]]. The core of the area is drained by the infant [[River Esk (Ravenglass)|River Esk]]. Collectively these are some of the Lake District's most rugged hillsides.

The second group, otherwise known as the [[Furness Fells]] or Coniston Fells, have as their northern boundary the steep and narrow [[Hardknott Pass|Hardknott]] and [[Wrynose Pass|Wrynose]] passes. The highest are [[Old Man of Coniston]] and [[Swirl How]] which slightly exceed {{convert|800|m|-2|abbr=on}}.

The third group to the west of the Duddon includes [[Harter Fell, Eskdale|Harter Fell]] and the long ridge leading over [[Whitfell]] to [[Black Combe]] and the sea. The south of this region consists of lower forests and knolls, with [[Kirkby Moor]] on the southern boundary. The southwestern Lake District ends near the [[Furness]] peninsula and Barrow-in-Furness, a town which many Lake District residents rely on for basic amenities. [[Miterdale Head Wood]] is a [[Site of Special Scientific Interest|site of special scientific interest]] in the region.
