Hiking

Sharp Haw is a 1,171-foot (357 m) hill that sits along the Dales High Way long-distance hiking trail through the Yorkshire Dales. The hill just sneaks into the southernmost part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. There is a well placed bench just below the summit where you can enjoy the views.
