Dufton‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 산 정상

The highest mountain in England outside of the Lake district, fantastic views if you can catch it on a clear day.

Dufton Pike is a super nice hill and a UK designated P100, a hill with a 100 metres of prominence. The views from the top looking up towards Backstone Edge is super nice. It is a nice short, sharp pull to get to the top, but well worth it. The top has an unmarked summit.

This is a lovely small peak to do; at 594 metres, it is not that high, but it climbs steeply from the car park on the outskirts of Murton. You can actually make a nice short loop by going up Murton Beck, which is quite gentle, and then come in from the north. There is the whitest of whitewashed trig point on top, with great views out towards Mell Fell to the SE and distant panoramas of the Lake District.

Sandwiched between Cross Fell and Great Dun Fell is Little Dun Fell. This is a super hill to do, and the walking route to it from both of the aforementioned hills forms part of the Pennine Way, so it is slabbed with stone and well maintained. Little Dun Fell, however, is somewhat overshadowed by its more famous northern and southern neighbours, but I prefer this hill to the others. The views across to Cross Fell and Great Dun Fell are super nice, raw, and barren, with nothing in between just the path of the Pennine Way. It also has a small cairn on the top, and at 842 metres, it is also a UK-designated nuttall.

A beautiful hill to hike and a glorious summit to have a break on. It has a wide plateaued top with a number of impressive stone cairns, as well as a trig point and a great dry stone cross shelter. I hiked the Kirkland loop, and this was a particularly nice loop to do. There is not that much of a view from the summit itself because it is so big and flat, but the views to and from it are really nice, in particular over towards Little 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.
