Great Mell Fell, Mountain summit in Lake District, England.
Great Mell Fell rises to 537 meters with a rounded shape, featuring scattered larches and pines on its upper sections and dense woodland on lower slopes.
The mountain's name first appeared in written records in 1279 as Melfel, with subsequent variations including Great mele Fell documented in 1487.
The summit contains a Bronze Age tumulus topped with a small stone cairn, marking centuries of human presence in this Lake District location.
Multiple access paths lead to the summit from Brownrigg Farm, with the land managed by National Trust offering unrestricted hiking opportunities.
The mountain consists of distinctive red Devonian conglomerate rock, forming a geological formation different from other Lake District mountains.
