Burnt Hill

The walk up Burnt Hill rewards you with proper Wensleydale views - nothing fancy, but genuine. It's a straightforward fell that won't take your legs off, making it ideal if you're staying at one of the nearby glamping spots and fancy a half-day outing from Richmond.

From the summit you get views across the valley that stretch for miles when the weather plays ball. The route itself is well-trodden and clear enough, though it can get boggy after rain - fell standard stuff. Allow around two hours for the round trip from the start, depending on fitness. Kids aged eight and up will manage it without complaint, though younger ones might need carrying on the steeper bits.

What makes it work is the location. You're close enough to Richmond to pop there for lunch beforehand, then head up for an afternoon walk. The fell doesn't demand a full day's commitment. It's the sort of place where you go because you're in the area, not because you've read about it in a magazine.

If you're staying at Gillcumber Glamping Pods or Usha Gap Farm, this is genuinely on your doorstep - under an hour's drive. Pair it with a wander round Richmond itself and you've got a solid day sorted. The fell won't blow your mind, but it's proper Pennine walking, honest and straightforward.
