Carl Side is a fell in the English Lake District, forming part of Skiddaw "family". It is listed in Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells as one of the Northern Fells.
Carl Side is often climbed via Ullock Pike and Long Side, along a narrow ridge. Wainwright also suggested ascents from Little Crosthwaite, High Side and Millbeck. Carl Side is bordered by Southerndale Beck, in the little-known valley of Southerndale, and Mill Beck. All streams from the fell go into Bassenthwaite Lake. Carl Side has connecting ridges to Skiddaw and Dodd, and Carl Side is probably climbed mainly by walkers going on to the more renowned height of Skiddaw.
Carl Side is near the town of Keswick, and can be seen prominently from its streets. The view south from the top is restricted due to the broadness of the summit.
