Ling Fell is a mountain in the Lake District's North Western Fells that rises to 373 meters with a rounded, dome-shaped profile. The slopes are blanketed in green vegetation, making it a distinctive feature in this part of the region.
History
The name comes from the extensive heather plant, called 'ling' in English, that covers the mountainside throughout the year. This vegetation has given the summit its character for generations.

Alfred Wainwright included Ling Fell in his definitive Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, describing it as an isolated rounded hill in the region.
