Carl Side, Fell in Lake District, England
Description
Carl Side is a fell in the Lake District rising to 746 meters with a grassy summit plateau. The slopes drop steeply toward the surrounding valleys, creating a distinctive shape within the Northern Fells.
History
Mining operations in the 1870s extracted baryte and galena from the area between Carlsleddam and the southern ridge. These activities shaped the landscape in ways that remain visible to hikers today.
Culture
Carl Side belongs to the Northern Fells and is recognized by hikers who follow Alfred Wainwright's traditional fell guides. The mountain plays a role in the local walking tradition of the Lake District, where many people explore the ridges and valleys on foot.
Practical
Established footpaths connect the nearby villages of Millbeck and Little Crosthwaite to the summit. It is wise to start early in the day and come prepared for changeable weather.
