Buckden Pike summit

Hiking

by 38 explorers out of 39

The patchwork pastureland, drystone walls and green valleys of idyllic Wharfedale create a scene of quintessential Yorkshire charm. Hikes to Buckden Pike rank amongst the finest in not only this region, but in the entire Yorkshire Dales National Park. Rising high above the head of the dale alongside neighbouring Great Whernside, it is a hill of great character and boasts huge views.

Glorious hiking on one of the Dales’ most beloved hills

    Hiking

    This is one of the highest hills in the Yorkshire Dales (702m) and well-worth the effort of climbing it. With its grassy plateau, it offers fantastic views in all directions.

    Spot Buckden Rake, which is an old Roman road running along the side of the hill: this used to link the forts in Ilkley and Bainbridge.

    Hiking

    Well I will just shut up as I didn't get any views at all. It was such a miserable day but a great all round walk. I would love to do it on a blue sky day! You could also do Birks Fell the same day, making for a 17km total hike.
