It’s not often that a summit gets its own name, separate from the fell upon which it stands. Hikes up to Nine Standards Rigg are precisely this though, as the hill you’ll be ascending is actually Hartley Fell. A stone’s throw outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park border, walking up this fell to the extraordinary summit is a popular objective.

Nobody knows the sense of Nine standards ... But they are iconic!

Nobody knows the meaning or benefit of the Nine standards. They are still cult!

At a height of 2,172 feet (662 m), the curious Nine Standards boast superb views over the town of Kirkby Stephen and further afield. The origin of the cairns is a mystery. According to legendary fell walker and hiker Alfred Wainwright, whose Coast-to-Coast route crosses the fell, the Nine Standards are marked on 18th century maps. Some believe they were constructed by the Romans to look like troops from a distance.

We tried the ‘easy hike’ highlighted here on Kamoot. I can’t stress enough how inaccurate this hike is, and misleading. It is not an ‘easy hike’, because if you follow the trail provided you’ll spend 50% of your time mucking through marsh land. The area is badly sign posted; we saw one for the coast to coast, and nothing more. This ‘easy’ hike is for intermediates with some experience, definitely not children. We would never have gone had we known what to expect! Having said that, if you can safely climb another way, it is worth it for the view.
