Hiking

This conical hill is located right on the edge of the North Pennines AONB and serves as a great spot to climb if you're looking for a quick ascent or a shorter family route. Despite its low altitude, it provides excellent panoramic views and if you're seeking a longer hike, you can link it up with High Cup Nick!

Hiking

This is a lovely small peak to do; at 594 metres, it is not that high, but it climbs steeply from the car park on the outskirts of Murton. You can actually make a nice short loop by going up Murton Beck, which is quite gentle, and then come in from the north. There is the whitest of whitewashed trig point on top, with great views out towards Mell Fell to the SE and distant panoramas of the Lake District.
