Dufton Pike is a super nice hill and a UK designated P100, a hill with a 100 metres of prominence. The views from the top looking up towards Backstone Edge is super nice. It is a nice short, sharp pull to get to the top, but well worth it. The top has an unmarked summit.

One of the most impressive summits and views I’ve ever seen. Pics don’t do it justice. Amazing spot

This tarn and, in fact, the surrounding area, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI): this is largely because of the limestone areas that surround it. The tarn is a marl lake, with lots of ferns around it. A beautiful place with a rugged feel to the area.

Special and somewhat strange landscape, comparable to what can be seen in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu National Reserve in the center of the Brecon Beacons (Wales). It is exceptional that a tree thrives in such an open and very windy heath. It seems as if the roots are protected by the stones. For a similar image from Ogof Ffynnon Ddu National Reserve, see: https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/5894815

Just walk. If it's too windy (as we found it today), get to a nice spot, take it in, turn around (we had the kids with us, assessed the risk over and over so we just turned back)...

A tiring climb (from the Eden valley) but totally worth it for the stunning views. Wear some good footwear! There are quite a few chunky rocky sections and wet boggy parts of the path.

A dramatic objective, which makes for a marvellously secluded lunch spot. As you unwind by the serene waters, drink in the views of the Howgill Fells, Wild Boar Fell and the nearby escarpment that leads to limestone pavement of Great Asby Scar.

Instead of walking up and down the same route, go round the west side. Easy to follow path that leads back to Dutton. 15.5 kilometres in all with outstanding views.

High Cup Nick is the best example of a glaciated u-shaped valley in Northern England. Situated high on the western flanks of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the view from this spot is utterly breathtaking. Here, you can see the grey-blue dolerite crags which also form High Force and Cauldron Snout.

This is one of the strangest walks I have done. Rolling moors then, in the middle of nowhere this epic hole appeared.
