    For those tackling the Yorkshire Three Peaks in the traditional counterclockwise direction, Pen-y-Ghent is the first summit you reach. At 2,277 feet (694 m), it's the smallest of the three but boasts incredible views of the golden landscape. With decent paths and a few scrambles to boot, it's the perfect warm-up for what's to come.

      Make sure to walk anti clockwise round,the scramble is easier giingvup

        Great starter mountain to get you used to the opportunities out there in the rest of the Dales. Good tracks, steep in some parts, and a good beginners' scramble up and over the snout. Don't forget when climbing towards the top, turn around to take in the view.
