Great Whernside is a mountain in the Yorkshire Dales, not to be confused with the more well known Whernside, some 30 kilometres (20 miles) to the west. Its summit is the highest point of the eastern flank of Wharfedale above Kettlewell. The curving escarpment above the pass between Wharfedale and Coverdale is known as Whernside, of which Great Whernside is the highest point; Little Whernside is a few kilometres to the north-east.
