Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Great Dun Fell is the second-highest hill in the Pennine range, United Kingdom, lying two miles south along the watershed from Cross Fell, its higher neighbour. Together with its smaller twin, Little Dun Fell, it forms a stepping-stone for the Pennine Way on its long climb up from Dufton. At the summit, there is a radar station that is operated by NATS and is a key part of the Air Traffic Control system for Northern England and Southern Scotland. A radome containing Primary Surveillance radar (PSR) and Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) antennae, various towers and fencing crown the summit. Alfred Wainwright abhored the old radio station (Removed in the 1980s) in his book Pennine Way Companion. The construction of the radar station has led to the repaving of a tarred road to the summit which in turn led to being Britain's highest road. This road is private and not open to the public.
