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.
