Dodd Fell Hill is a hill in the Yorkshire Dales, in North Yorkshire, England. It is classed as a Marilyn (a hill with topographic prominence of at least 150 metres (490 ft)) and its summit is at 668 metres (2,192 ft).[1] The flat summit, known as Dodd Fell Hill, is marked by a concrete trig-point.[2] The hill has a lower summit known as Ten End, which is 1.6-kilometre (1 mi) to the north, and slightly lower at 580 metres (1,910 ft) above sea level.[3]
The name of Dodd Fell is derived from the Middle English Dodde, and the Old Norse Fjall, meaning the hill with the rounded top.[4][5]
Water flowing off the hill to the north-east forms Duerley Beck, and runs down Sleddale and becomes a tributary of the River Ure.[6] Water flowing to the north runs through Snaizeholme, a side dale of Widdale, and the high ridge between the summit of Dodd Fell and Snaizeholme is traversed by the Pennine Way.[7][8]
