Great Gable in the Lake District

Welcome to the EDGE Guide to Great Gable in the Lake District.

Great Gable between Kirk Fell and Lingmell.

Location: NY211103 Sheet 89.
Height: 2949ft/899m.

To reach the summit calls for some hard walking, it is however worth the effort because the views are tremendous.

This is one of the most popular of the Lake District Fells so you will never feel lonely.
