This is one of two Wainwright fells of the Lake District with the name Harter Fell, not to be confused with the Harter Fell of the Southern Lake District. The Mardale Harter Fell in the Far Eastern Lake District is 2,552 feet (779 m) high and the summit is marked by a cairn with iron posts included amongst the stones. The views of Haweswater from this fell are particularly mesmerising.
