Craven Hall Hill

Standing at 1,430 feet, this modest summit offers surprisingly good views across the Worth Valley without the crowds you'd find on the more famous peaks nearby. The walk up from the nearest car park takes about 45 minutes through typical Yorkshire moorland - heather, gorse, and the odd grouse if you're lucky.

Walkers will appreciate the relatively straightforward route, though it does get boggy after rain so proper boots are essential. The top itself isn't dramatic - no rocky outcrop or dramatic cliff edge - but on a clear day you can see across to Ilkley Moor and the Aire Valley beyond.

Families with older children who don't mind a proper walk will enjoy this one, though it's probably too much for little legs. Dog walkers love it up here, plenty of space to let them run free once you're away from the road.

Being so close to Leeds, it gets busy at weekends, but visit on a weekday morning and you'll likely have the place to yourself. The beauty is it's free, always open, and you can easily combine it with a visit to nearby Haworth if you're making a day of it. Perfect for stretching your legs if you're staying at one of the holiday parks around Esholt or further down the valley.
