Mallerstang Edge, Swarth Fell & Wild Boar Fell - 05/02/2017
The summit cairn |
It is mostly within Mallerstang, Cumbria, but the boundary between Cumbria and North Yorkshire (historically Westmorland and the West Riding of Yorkshire) runs along its length, just to the west of the highest points.
The name "Swarth" fell, like most of the names of geographical features in the area, is of Norse origin: svartr, dark in colour.
