Great Dodd rises to 857 m (2,812 ft) on the northern part of the Helvellyn range, between Thirlmere and Ullswater. It is a Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall, HuMP and Birkett, with 109 m of prominence.

The Dodds are smooth, grassy fells, and Great Dodd is the biggest of them. From Dockray on the Ullswater side, you climb open grass slopes over Randerside.

The ridge path from Clough Head to Stybarrow Dodd crosses the summit and makes a long, easy walk on grass.
A stone shelter stands near the top, a short way from the highest point. The domed summit is featureless, so in mist you need to navigate with care.
