Cross Fell

Cross Fell is the highest point in the Pennine Hills of Northern England and the highest point in England outside of the Lake District. It is located in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The summit, at 2,930 feet (893 m), is a stony plateau, part of a 7.8 mi (12.6 km) long ridge running North West to South East, which also incorporates Little Dun Fell at 2,762 feet (842 m) and Great Dun Fell at 2,785 feet (849 m). The three adjoining fells form an escarpment that rises steeply above the Eden Valley on its south western side and drops off more gently on its north eastern side towards the South Tyne and Tees Valleys.
