Mickle Fell, Mountain summit in Lunedale, England
Mickle Fell is a limestone summit in the North Pennines that reaches 788 meters above sea level. The ridge rises prominently above Lunedale and forms part of the distinctive landscape of this upland region.
Mickle Fell was documented in geographical surveys starting in the early 1900s as part of mapping projects across Northern England. The mountain served as a reference point for later exploration and climbing activities in the Pennines.
Local communities maintain detailed climbing logs and photographic records of their ascents, contributing to a collective database of mountain exploration experiences.
Visitors should prepare for exposed conditions and changeable weather at the summit, particularly wind and mist. Maps and proper footwear are essential for safe navigation across the terrain.
Two stone cairns stand at the summit positioned about 25 meters apart, with the northeastern one marking the actual high point. This dual marker creates an unexpected detail that catches many walkers off guard.
