About Green Hill

From the summit cairn, the views stretch across the Dales in all directions - though you'll need to earn them first. Green Hill sits at 1,516 feet and demands a proper walk to reach the top, with the most popular route starting from near Carnforth. The climb is steady rather than brutal, making it accessible for most walkers with reasonable fitness.

Families with older children will find this a rewarding challenge, though it's probably too much for little ones. The payoff comes at the summit where the panorama takes in Pen-y-ghent to the northeast and Ingleborough further west on clear days. Bring a proper map - the ridge can be confusing in mist.

Allow three to four hours for the round trip, longer if you're stopping for photos and sandwiches at the top. The ground can be boggy after rain, so decent boots are essential. Early morning starts often reward you with clearer views before the afternoon haze sets in.

For those staying at nearby sites like Wharfedale Caravan and Motorhome Club or Ribblesdale Pods, it makes a cracking day out that'll leave you properly ready for an evening pint. The walk back down gives your knees a workout, but most reckon it's well worth the effort for those summit views.
