Great Calva is a

prominent summit right in the centre of the Northern Lake District Fells. Away

national park. This rift is adorned by Thirlmere and Grasmere, is utilised by

Its 2,260 feet (690 m) high perch gives it magnificent views down the defile between the Skiddaw and Blencathra massifs all the way along Thirlmere to Grasmere. There are few spots better positioned to think on the massive role glaciation played in the formation of the Lake District landscape.

At the southern foot of the fell is Skiddaw House, a unique hostel around the 'Back o'Skiddaw'. It is said to be the most remote lodging in England, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) from the nearest road.
