Mickle Fell is a mountain in the Pennines, the range of hills and moors running down the middle of Northern England. It has a maximum elevation of . It can be ascended from the Eden Valley to the west, or from Teesdale to the east.
Marilyns are rare in the North Pennines because of the relative flatness of the moors, but Mickle Fell is one such hill: it is separated from its neighbours by over 200 m of relative height.
Access
Mickle Fell and surrounding moorland forms part of the Warcop Training Area, a Ministry of Defence firing range. As a result, public access to the fell is limited and it is not visited by hillwalkers as often as other well-known summits, despite its importance. It is possible to see the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire, the Lakeland Fells including Scafell Pike and even the Galloway Hills. The longest possible line of sight from Mickle Fell is to Carnedd Llewelyn in Wales, away.
