At an altitude of 2,357 feet (718 m), Greg’s Hut is the highest bothy in England. Located close to Cross Fell, the highest point in the Pennines, this free-to-use cottage is helpfully situated in a remote part of the hills that's prone to bad weather.

There are basic facilities at the bothy and it makes for a good place for a lunch break or an overnight stop. For more information, visit gregshut.org.uk.

An old blacksmith’s shop and cottage for workers from the nearby lead mine, Greg’s Hut is now a respite for weary walkers tackling Cross Fell in the Pennines. England’s highest bothy at 700m, Greg’s is roomy but on the basic side – there’s a raised platform for sleeping, a wood-burning stove and a few odds and ends. But if you come armed with a flask of tea, a thick sweater and some kindling to get the fire going, Greg’s Hut makes for an authentic bothy stay in glorious surroundings.
