Fourlands Hill

The walk up Fourlands Hill takes roughly forty minutes from Carnforth if you're reasonably fit, and the views across the Lancashire and Yorkshire border make it worth every sweaty step. It's not dramatic or towering - more of a proper moorland trot than a mountain mission - but that's rather the point. You get that open, windswept feeling without the crowds you'd find on the bigger peaks nearby.

What strikes you most is the clarity of the landscape from the top. On a decent day you can see right across to the Lake District fells, and south towards Morecambe Bay. The moorland itself is quiet and working-land, so you won't find tea rooms or visitor facilities up here. Bring a flask. It's free to walk, naturally, and there are decent enough paths, though they can get boggy after rain.

Families with older kids will enjoy it more than little ones - it's too exposed for pushchairs and the terrain demands proper footwear. History buffs might find more to grip them elsewhere, but walkers and fell-runners absolutely belong here. The isolation is the draw.

If you're staying at Primrose Glamping Pods just down the way, it makes for a cracking morning outing before breakfast. Pair it with other walks in the area and you've got yourself a proper fell-walking day. Just don't expect facilities or company up top.
