Sheepstones

The walk up Sheepstones from Hebden Bridge takes you onto proper moorland with views that stretch miles across West Yorkshire. It's a decent fell walk rather than a casual stroll - expect between an hour and ninety minutes to reach the summit depending on your fitness and how often you stop to catch your breath. The peak itself isn't dramatic or rocky, more a high point on the moorland where you can sit and look back towards Hebden Bridge and beyond.

This suits walkers who want something more than a park walk but aren't after scrambling or technical climbing. The moorland landscape appeals to anyone after wide open space and a proper sense of achievement without breaking a sweat on rock faces. Families with older kids will manage it fine; younger ones might find it a grind without much to see en route.

Start early to avoid the afternoon cloud that rolls in here. The weather changes fast on these hills, so waterproofs aren't optional. Free to access, naturally - you're on open moorland. From Hebden Bridge, you can build this into a longer day using the various camping spots nearby: Old Chamber Camping and Hebden Bridge Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite are both within spitting distance of town, so you can ditch the car and walk straight out onto the moors. It's the kind of fell that won't blow your mind but absolutely rewards a morning's effort, especially if visibility's good.
