Swarth Fell

Swarth Fell is an approximately stretch of high ground situated to the south of Wild Boar Fell, of which it is a continuation. It is mostly within Mallerstang, Cumbria, but the boundary between Cumbria and North Yorkshire runs along its length, just to the west of the highest points.
The summit, which is marked by a cairn, and is listed as both a Hewitt and a Nuttall, lies 2.1 km to the south of the summit of Wild Boar Fell, the two fells being separated by a col - where there are several cairns, and a small tarn; Swarth Fell Tarn.. Historically, the tarn was unnamed, and Alfred Wainwright described it as "a small, nameless sheet of water." In 2017, the Ordnance Survey agreed to label the tarn on maps as Swarth Fell Tarn.
The name "Swarth" fell, like most of the names of geographical features in the area, is of Norse origin: svartr, dark in colour.
Approximately 1 km south-east of the summit is the fell's other high point, Swarth Fell Pike. Baugh Fell, Yorkshire Dales, is 5.3 km to the south-west, separated from Swarth Fell by Grisedale.
