Four Stones Hill

The walk up Four Stones Hill takes about ninety minutes from Penrith, which makes it a decent half-day outing if you're based at one of the caravan parks nearby - Park Foot or Ullswater Holiday Park are both close enough for an early start. The summit itself sits at 1,237 metres and gives you proper views across the Pennines when the weather plays ball, though I'll be honest, the peak gets quite crowded on weekends.

What you're actually climbing towards are four distinctive standing stones on the ridge, which date back to Bronze Age times. They're not exactly dramatic - you won't feel like you've discovered some grand monument - but they're atmospheric enough on a clear day, and the walk itself is the real draw here. The terrain is boggy in places and can be tricky in wet conditions, so proper boots are essential, not trainers.

Walkers get the most from this one. If you've got young children, they might find the slog a bit much, and the stones themselves won't hold their attention long. It's a proper fell walk, not a gentle family stroll. Allow three to four hours round trip if you're taking your time, which you should. There's no visitor facility up top - just you, the stones, and hopefully some decent views.

Combine it with walks around Ullswater, which is only five miles away. You could easily do the walk one day and explore the lake shore paths the next without moving your caravan.
