周辺の天然記念物・トップ20

Until 1912, Roseberry Topping had a smooth, sugarloaf‑like peak. A geological fault combined with underground mining caused a massive collapse, giving the summit its modern jagged profile. The climb up from the car park is steep and can be very busy, even before sunrise in winter where you can see a small procession of torches slowly ascending.

This is where I realised wearing new boots for a hike this long was a BAD idea!

Great for all skills

Nice walk which can be extended to find the secret waterfall

Limestone pavement above Mallam.incredable

There's a good trail on the ground either from Flasby (the more interesting route) or Skipton side, and a rocky summit with a trig point - the perfect destination for a fell run

Not accessible if your not willing to do a Little Rock climbing!

More spectacular views. The approach from the west is easier with a more gentle incline than the approach from the east, which involves a series of twisting turning steep steps, good safe footing but hard going both up and down.

Dogs are not permitted on this route.

Carlton Bank is 408 m (1,339 ft), The summit provides extensive views of Teesside.

Whernside 736.6m P408 (2416ft) County of Yorkshire Definitive List

Specular limestone waterfall which is understandably popular and gets very busy. For the best experience, visit on a wet and blustery autumn or winter's day when not only will the waterfall be in full flow, but you might actually get to see it without all the 'wild swimming' instagrammers

After the climb the all round view is worth the effort. Allow time for the both ascent and descent

If you are feeling brave and you are good at climbing, you can go up the waterfall and follow a path upto the top of Gordale Scar, but it's not easy and the flow of the water can change daily depending on weather and rain etc so this can increase the difficulty and danger, and plus like myself you might get wet feet lol.

Sunrise is the best

Gordale Scar is a stunning natural wonder which is not that hard to navigate even if you're not familiar with the area. To make your experience more enjoyable, make sure to plan your route and be prepared for the steep climb up to the top of the waterfall. Be sure to pack appropriate gear for the weather conditions, as the gorge can be slippery and wet. Wearing sturdy shoes with good grip, and bringing waterproof clothing can help ensure you have a comfortable and safe experience.

Hiking up the waterfall area is dangerous at many times of the year...

Lower than Whernside but higher than Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough at 723m is the third of the Yorkshire three peaks. It's a great summit, more defined than the long ridge of Whernside and with brilliant views in all directions. At a run, it's quite a climb from any direction, but never too steep (maybe?). The descent is amazing if you haven't wrecked your quads already.

Simon's Seat is a prominent grit stone outcrop at 485m just within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. There is a trig point and amazing views across the Dales. Simon's Seat is on the Bolton Abbey estate and is accessible to all as it's on open access land.
