Swarth Fell
Swarth Fell is an approximately 1 mile 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 unnamed 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.
