Bonber Hill

The walk up Bomber Hill rewards you with a proper view across the Yorkshire Dales - nothing too taxing, just enough of a climb to feel like you've earned it. From the top you can see right across to Skipton and beyond, and on a clear day the visibility is genuinely impressive. The fell itself is grassy and open, the sort of place where the wind tends to pick up a bit, so don't be fooled by calm conditions at the bottom.

This is walkers' territory through and through. If you're based at one of the glamping spots nearby - Malham's only four miles away, which makes it a natural pairing - you could knock this out as a morning sortie before lunch. Most people will spend between an hour and ninety minutes on the hill, depending on pace and how long you linger at the top. There's nothing much up there except the view and the wind, which is precisely the point.

It's free to access, no gates or barriers, just park sensibly near the base and go. Families with young kids might find the ascent a slog if legs are short, but older children who can handle a steady walk will be fine. The real draw here is solitude and distance - you're not competing with crowds, and the Dales stretch out in every direction. Worth the detour if you're staying in the area and fancy something straightforward.
