Meal Fell

Meal Fell is a mountain in the Lake District standing at 550 meters high. A small cairn marks its summit and offers views across the surrounding Northern Fells region.

The mountain has been documented in walking guides since the early 20th century and forms part of the recognized Birkett Hills collection. This inclusion connects it to the region's established walking heritage.

Local walking groups regularly organize guided expeditions to Meal Fell, connecting visitors with traditional Lake District hiking practices.

Multiple walking routes lead to the summit from different starting points, with detailed navigation maps available for the area. It is recommended to bring maps and check weather conditions before heading up.

A larger shelter structure stands roughly 65 meters northeast of the main cairn, providing an unexpected addition to this summit. This refuge allows walkers to find cover during sudden weather changes.
