Cartmel Fell is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland . Wainwright names as Cartmel Fell the "elevated tangle of bracken and coppice forming [the Winster Valley]'s western flanks", and 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. [14] To the northwest is Heights Tarn, a small lake on private land.
