Little Whernside
A distinctively-shaped peak that resembles a mini Pen-y-Ghent from some angles, Little Whernside is a remote hill that straddles the Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale.
Ingleborough
A firm favourite of many, this instantly recognisable peak in the Yorkshire Dales provides not only a challenging hill walking experience but also plenty of natural sites and ancient history.
Great Knoutberry Hill
A remote summit at the head of Dentdale, Great Knoutberry Hill offers splendid views of the nearby Yorkshire Three Peaks, and on a clear day, a panoramic view which is basically a ‘who’s who’ of the peaks of northern England
Simon's Seat (Wharfedale)
A relatively low summit within easy reach of the populat tourist destination of Bolton Abbey, Simon’s Seat’s commanding position above Wharfedale below, and 360 degree panormaic views gives the impression of somerthing far higher.
Pen-y-Ghent
Most famous as one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, this mini-mountain contains plenty of fun in its own right, either as a challenging, yet short adventure with the kids, or for longer expeditions involving the remote, yet enchanting Pen-y-Ghent Gill to the east, or the seldom-visited Plover Hill to the north.
Pendle Hill
Literally meaning ‘Hill Hill Hill’, this isolated summit’s recognisable shape and seemingly ever-presence on the horizon throughout the Yorkshire Dales, West Pennine Moors, Lancashire, the Peak District means it certainly lives up to its name.
Kinder Scout
The highest summit in the Peak District (if you can find the summit, that is), Kinder Scout packs a mighty punch in terms of scenery and points of interest, and provides the terrain for a range of epic outdoor activities.
Great Whernside
No relation to the more famous summit which heads up the Yorkshire Three Peaks, Great Whernside is still one of the Yorkshire Dales’ highest summits.
Wild Boar Fell
Wild Boar Fell is the 4th highest trig point in the Yorkhire Dales. Despite this, it’s also one of the lesser-known ones, so relatively quiet, but is a dramatic sight and a real treat to anyone who ventures out this far.
