Great End is a Lake District fell of 909.5 m in Cumberland. Only four of the register's England hills are higher.

It is the 5th highest Wainwright. Its key col leads to Scafell Pike, not to its nearest higher summit, Ill Crag. Its nearest higher summit, Ill Crag (930.9 m, 1.1 km south), is a listed top not profiled here. Its drop of 56.1 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. The key col is close by, only 0.3 km to the south at 853.4 m. It is 274.2 m above the average height of the 114 register hills in Cumberland. It falls on two OS 1:50,000 sheets, 89 and 90.
