Arthur's Pike is a 1,749-foot (533 m) Wainwright fell in the Far Eastern Lake District. Being on the very eastern edge of the group of 214 Wainwright fells you'd think that anything worth looking at would be to the west of the summit but that's not true. You can see many of Wainwright's Outlying Fells of Lakeland from here (like Dunmallet, Heughscar Hill and Knipescar Common), plus on a good day the mountains of the North Pennines including Cross Fell.
