Wild Boar Fell, Mountain summit in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England
Wild Boar Fell rises 708 meters above sea level, featuring steep eastern escarpments and a flat-topped profile visible from the southern approach.
The mountain's millstone grit formations were used until the mid-19th century for creating grinding stones, with partially completed specimens still visible on its slopes.
The tusk of what locals claim to be the last wild boar caught on the fell remains displayed at Kirkby Stephen parish church.
Access to the summit requires a 7-mile round trip from the parking area near A683, with paths leading through gates and narrow lanes.
Sand Tarn lies 300 meters west of the summit, while The Nab section contains a collection of ancient stone cairns marking the landscape.
