Ash Fell
Cumbria, United Kingdom
Ash Fell is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Cumbria, England. It is located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park 4km southwest of the town of Kirkby Stephen (2km southwest of Kirkby Stephen railway station). This area is protected because of the lowland dwarf-shrub heath habitat present. This protected area includes Wether Hill and Rasett Hill. The cairn at the top of Rasett Hill is a scheduled monument. The boundaries of Ash Fell SSSI are contiguous with the boundaries of Smardale Gill SSSI and Ash Fell Edge SSSI, so is part of a larger area of nature protection.
