**Great Stickle** is a fell located in the southern [Lake District](/source/Lake_District) of [England](/source/England) with an altitude of 305 m (1,001 ft). [Alfred Wainwright](/source/Alfred_Wainwright) included it in the [Stickle Pike](/source/Stickle_Pike) chapter of his "[The Outlying Fells of Lakeland](/source/The_Outlying_Fells_of_Lakeland)" (but stated the height incorrectly as 990 ft; the 2011 2nd edition has the correct figure).[1][2] Geographically the fell is located on the southern ridge of Stickle Pike and is located between the lower [Duddon Valley](/source/Duddon_Valley) (west) and the valley of Dunnerdale Beck (east). A "stickle" is a hill with a prominent rocky top.

The fell is rugged in appearance with several craggy outcrops that are found especially on its summit and its southern slopes which descend to the hamlet of [Broughton Mills](/source/Broughton_Mills). It is generally climbed in combination with [Stickle Pike](/source/Stickle_Pike), the ridge between the two summits offering an interesting traverse and excellent views to the [Furness Peninsula](/source/Furness) and the southern fells.
