Cumrew Fell is a hill of 1,601 feet in the King's Forest of Geltsdale in north-eastern Cumberland.
The fell is in the west of the group, at the very edge of the high Pennines, looking down over the hamlet from which it takes its name, Cumrew, and the tiny hamlet of Albyfield.
The main summit is at 1,601 feet, but the summit ridge is capped with a trig point just north of the main summit, at 1,581 feet. It is a busy hillside: the fell is covered with shakeholes (sunken depressions), old shielings and sheepfolds. There is a quarry on the western slope.
To the west across Geltsdale rises Cold Fell (2,037 feet) and to the south-east is Croglin Fell.
