At a height of 848 metres , Great Dun Fell is the second-highest mountain in England's Pennines, lying two miles south along the watershed from Cross Fell, its higher neighbour. Together with its smaller twin, Little Dun Fell, which reaches 842 metres , it forms a stepping-stone for the Pennine Way on its long climb up from Dufton. It lies within the historic county boundaries of Westmorland and the modern council area of Cumbria.
At the summit there is a radar station that is operated by National Air Traffic Services and is a key part of the Air Traffic Control system for Northern England and Southern Scotland. A radome containing Primary Surveillance radar and Secondary Surveillance Radar antennas, various towers and fencing crown the summit. Alfred Wainwright abhorred the old radio station in his book Pennine Way Companion.
