노스요크셔‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

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!

Lots of view points, people rock climbing and the up and downs test you as they are short, but a touch punchy for their short elevation!

Great for all skills

Nice walk which can be extended to find the secret waterfall

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

Fountains Fell at 668 metres is a UK designated Nuttall, sitting in between its two neighbours, Darnbrook Fell at 624 metres, and Fountains Fell South Top at 662 metres. The summit of Fountains Fell is marked by a large stone cairn. There are nice views over towards Pen y Ghent, and the surrounding dales.

Judging from the number of recommendations, photos and tips, this is a hugely popular spot. If you can, get up there nice and early (I started 5.30am in May) to catch the rising sun and see the stones in a mix of sunlight and shadow, both from afar and close up. Spectacular rock formations and views all round.
