Great Shunner Fell, Mountain summit in Yorkshire Dales, England
Great Shunner Fell rises to 716 meters, marking the third-highest peak in the Yorkshire Dales between Wensleydale and Swaledale valleys.
The mountain slopes contained coal mining operations until the 1880s, when the railway arrival in Hawes made external coal supplies more economical.
The Pennine Way, a significant British long-distance walking path, crosses directly over the summit of Great Shunner Fell.
Stone-flagged paths lead to the summit from multiple directions, with the most direct route starting from the town of Hawes.
The summit features a cross-shaped stone shelter with a triangulation pillar in its northern section for protection against strong winds.
