Shoulder of Mutton

Shoulder of Mutton is shown as a mountain / peak on the public map of County Durham. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Roughly 300 metres in height, the Shoulder of Mutton is a prominent feature within the Pennine range, composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone and millstone grit. Its name, likely derived from its rounded, meat-like appearance, reflects local topographic folklore; the hill contributes to the regional character of the Durham uplands and is valued for its walking and scenic appeal.
