Aerial view of Great Mell Fell

Aerial view of Great Mell Fell with a backdrop of the Northern Fells of The Lake District.
Great Mell Fell with its sister, Little Mell Fell are two smooth, rectangular shaped hills that rise straight up from a wide expanse of marshy lowland. They are both distinctive and unique in Lakeland because they are composed of the Mell Fell Conglomorate, a sedimentary rock formed from deposits of sand and gravel in alluvial fans and braided river channels.
