About Plover Hill
The walk itself takes the best part of two hours up and back, depending on your fitness and how many times you stop to look around. The path is clear enough, though it gets boggy after rain, so waterproof boots aren't a luxury. On a decent day you can see across to Pen-y-ghent and Whernside, and if the cloud lifts properly, you're looking at miles of Yorkshire moorland rolling away in every direction.
It's the sort of hill that suits fell walkers more than casual strollers - nothing here for young kids who want facilities or entertainment. Older children who enjoy the outdoors will get more from it. The real draw is the quietness. You won't find crowds up here, which means you can actually hear the wind and the curlews rather than other people's chat.
If you're staying at Ribblesdale Pods nearby - and their luxury glamping setups are genuinely excellent - Plover Hill makes a solid morning or afternoon walk before heading back for a proper meal. Start early to catch the light, bring water, and don't expect anything fancy at the summit. It's refreshingly straightforward: climb the hill, enjoy the view, come back down.
