Meldon Hill, at 767 metres high, is a UK-designated Nuttall. It has a broad-topped grassy summit with a dilapitated trig point that has fallen down and is in several bits on the floor. The hill is literally in the middle of the North Pennines, and the closest approach path is the Pennine Way to the south, with parking at Cow Green Reservoir. There are broad, expansive views of the surrounding peaks, including Cross Fell and the domed top of Great Dun Fell.

Mickle Fell is the highest peak in Yorkshire, depending on which list you look at. It is an imposing bulk of a mountain and difficult to get to as a large chunk of it is in the Warcop military training range and access is limited. Normally, 10–12 weekends are set aside annually by the military to allow hikers to walk one of two routes to its summit. There are two routes: the Northern Route and the Southern Route, and both require permits. I did the Southern Route, which is a linear route following a fence for most of the way. The middle section of this route is difficult and boggy.

With an altitude of 479 meters, although not very high, from this point, you can enjoy some great views of the moorland surrounding Weardale. What's more, you'll discover another trig point to conquer!

Kirkcarrion is a copse of pine trees planted on a walled hill above Middleton in Teesdale. The trees were planted in Victorian times on a Bronze Age burial mound. The trail is just off the Pennine Journey trail but worth the detour.

Monks Moor is a broad hill above Teeside in the North Pennines AONB. It reaches 1,854 feet (565 m) above sea level and its summit is crowned by a trig point. The hill is characterised by remnants from the mining industry, rocky outcrops and is clad in heather, a delightful sight in autumn.
