Evening light on Great Gable seen from Kirk Fell English Lake District Cumbria

---

Great Gable is a mountain lying at the very heart of the English Lake District, appearing as a pyramid from Wasdale, but as a dome from most other directions. It is one of the most popular of the Lakeland fells. The upper section of Great Gable has a roughly square plan, about half a mile on each side, with the faces running in line with the four points of the compass. The fells connecting and subsidiary ridges occupy the corners of the square. Lying on the edge of the Scafell Syncline, the various strata dip to the east. The summit area is formed from a dacite lava flow (Scafell Dacite), directly underlain by the Lingmell Formation. This tuff, lapilli tuff and breccia outcrops a little to the west of the summit.
