The Calf, at an elevation of 676 metres (2,218 ft) is the highest point in the Howgill Fells, an area of high ground in north-west England.
It is in the north-west of the Yorkshire Dales in Westmorland and Furness in the county of Cumbria (historically it was on the West Riding of Yorkshire/Westmorland boundary).

The summit commands an extensive panorama, although foreground detail is obscured by the extreme flatness of the plateau. A twenty-mile skyline of the Lakeland peaks can be seen, as well as the Yorkshire Three Peaks and many of the nearer Howgill Fells.

Calders, at 674 metres (2,211 ft), is about 1 km SSE of the summit of The Calf is classified as a Hewitt and along with The Calf also one of the Dales 30.

The ‘Dales 30’ are the mountains in the Yorkshire Dales National Park over 2,000 feet with a 30 metre drop on all sides.

Cautley Spout is England's highest (cascade) waterfall above ground.(Gaping Gill on Ingleborough falls a greater unbroken distance into a pothole, and Hardraw Force has a greater unbroken fall above ground). The broken cascade of falls tumbles a total of 650 feet (198 m) down a cliff face at the head of a wild and bleak glacial valley that comes down from a high plateau called The Calf.
It is located in the Howgill Fells, traditionally in the West Riding of Yorkshire but now in the administrative county of Cumbria on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The waterfall is just north of Sedbergh. This fall is one of the few cascade falls in England; most are either tiered or plunge falls.
