From the Wikipedia article
Maiden Moor is a fell in the English Lake District, it stands six kilometres (3+3⁄4 miles) south of the town of Keswick and is part of the high ground that separates the Newlands Valley and Borrowdale; it has a modest height of 576 m (1,890 ft) and so fails to be mentioned on many UK mountain lists but it does have a separate chapter in Alfred Wainwright’s Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells.
