Amongst the vast, high moorland of the North Pennines, few peaks are as prominent as Mickle Fell. The historical county top of Yorkshire, hikes to Mickle Fell take you to a grand viewpoint for two of England’s most loved national parks: the beautiful, broad uplands of the Yorkshire Dales and the distinctive profiles of the eastern Lake District. Despite being robbed of its Yorkshire crown by shifting county lines, today Mickle Fell is the highest point in modern county Durham.

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. For further information, scheduled hiking days, and contact numbers, see the links below.
