Great Calva, Mountain summit in Lake District, United Kingdom.
Great Calva reaches an elevation of 690 meters with steep slopes covered in heather and features a curving ridge extending 800 meters.
The summit area contains ancient paths that formed part of trade routes connecting different valleys across the Northern Fells of the Lake District.
The Northern Fells, including Great Calva, influenced numerous English writers who documented the natural features of the Lake District through their works.
Hikers can access Great Calva through multiple routes, including the bridleway from Orthwaite or the path from Skiddaw Forest car park.
Three major waterways originate near Great Calva: Dash Beck, River Caldew, and River Glenderaterra, creating natural divisions within the Northern Fells.
