Running

Wild Boar Fell is at 708m and is one of the best summits in the Dales, in my humble opinion, for views. From here, Howgill Fells are available to your eyes in all their glory. The settlements of Newbiggin-on-Lune and Ravenstonedale are also visible from here, and so much more.

There is a shelter here where you can sit and rest your weary legs that have run you all the way up here!

Hiking

A 708m high mountain in the Vale of Eden and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It's a great walk via the ridgeline over Swarth Fell from Garsdale. It's named after the wild boar that used to roam this area.
