Meldon Hill, at 767 metres high, is a UK-designated Nuttall. It has a broad-topped grassy summit with a dilapitated trig point that has fallen down and is in several bits on the floor. The hill is literally in the middle of the North Pennines, and the closest approach path is the Pennine Way to the south, with parking at Cow Green Reservoir. There are broad, expansive views of the surrounding peaks, including Cross Fell and the domed top of Great Dun Fell.
