Cartmel Fell, with a population of 309,increasing to 329 at the 2011 Census^[1] is a hill, a hamlet and a civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England.

Cowmire Hall

St. Anthony's Church was built as a chapel of ease for Cartmel Priory in about 1504, and has changed little since. It contains some 17th-century box pews and a rare three-decker pulpit of 1698 as well as stained glass which may have come from Cartmel Priory.^[2]

There was a school next to St Anthony's Church that opened in 1871 and closed in 1971.^[3]

A mile to the north-east, Cowmire Hall incorporates a 16th-century pele tower, whilst the main block of the house dates from the 17th century.^[4] Also of note is Chapel House, Ravensbarrow Lodge, and Danes Court Cottage.

Cartmel Fell is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. Wainwright describes a walk from the church to the summit Raven's Barrow at 500 feet (150 m), which he calls "a lovely belvedere for viewing a lovely valley". He says that the cairn is locally known as Ravensbarrow or Rainsbarrow Old Man.^[5] To the northwest is Heights Tarn, a small lake on private land.
