Summit and View
The summit area of Great Dodd is a short ridge with the highest point at the north west end, marked by a small cairn. A larger wind shelter lies to the south east. Another cairn lies part way down the western slope on the path to Clough Head, marking the minor top of Little Dodd. The view is good, with much of the Lake District and a portion of the northern Pennines in sight.

Famous quotes containing the words summit and/or view:
“What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
And draw you into madness?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There is a hearty Puritanism in the view of human nature which pervades the instrument of 1787. It is the work of men who believed in original sin, and were resolved to leave open for transgressors no door which they could possibly shut.”
—James Bryce (1838–1922)
