Cold Fell

Cold Fell is a mountain summit in the North Pennines reaching 621 meters, topped with a trig point that marks its highest point. The peak rises above open moorland with clear views across the surrounding hills and valleys.

An ancient cairn sits at the summit, having guided travelers through the Pennines for many generations before modern navigation methods arrived. Local people have long used this stone pile as a landmark when crossing the region.

The mountain forms part of England's designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, protecting local wildlife habitats and traditional farming practices.

Several walking routes lead to the summit, suitable for different fitness levels and walking speeds. Weather conditions can change quickly across the exposed moorland, so proper footwear and weatherproof clothing are essential.

This peak stands as the northernmost point of the Pennines, forming a natural boundary before the Tyne Gap. This geographical position makes it a notable reference point for understanding the regional landscape structure.
