Loughber Hill

Standing 481 metres above sea level, this modest fell offers surprisingly good views across the Forest of Bowland for relatively little effort. The walk up from Skipton takes about 45 minutes through pleasant farmland and moorland paths, though the route can get boggy after rain - proper walking boots essential.

Families with older children will manage the ascent fine, but toddlers might struggle with the steeper sections near the summit. The panoramic views on a clear day stretch from Pendle Hill to the Yorkshire Dales, making it well worth the climb. Hill walkers looking for a decent workout without committing to a full day out will find this spot hits the sweet spot.

What makes Loughber Hill particularly appealing is its accessibility from several holiday parks in the area. Staying at Parkdean Resorts Todber Valley Holiday Park puts you just under four miles away, while the various glamping options like Hedgerow Luxury Glamping and Higher Grange Glamping offer a more upmarket base for exploring the local fells. The hill works brilliantly as a morning walk before heading back for lunch at your accommodation.

Timing matters here - early morning visits often reward you with the clearest views before any afternoon haze rolls in. Allow two hours for the round trip, and bring layers as it can be surprisingly chilly at the top even on warm days.
