Thorny Grane Nabb

The walk up to Thorny Grane Nabb, a modest peak near Leyburn in Wensleydale, won't set your legs on fire, but it's a proper leg-stretcher if you're staying in the area. The summit itself is nothing spectacular - a rocky outcrop with surprisingly good views across the dale and towards the surrounding moorland. On a clear day you can pick out the Pennine ridges in the distance, though you're hardly standing on top of the world here.

It's the sort of spot that rewards walkers rather than casual strollers. Proper footwear is advisable because the ground gets boggy, and the approach isn't always obvious if you're not paying attention. The actual climb takes a good hour from most trailheads, depending on which route you tackle. You're looking at an afternoon's entertainment rather than a full day out.

Families with older children will manage it fine. Younger kids might find the terrain a touch demanding and the views not quite rewarding enough to justify the effort. History buffs won't find much to detain them here - it's geology and landscape rather than heritage.

If you're staying at Eastfield Glamping Farm nearby, it's absolutely worth the drive and short hike. The walks around Wensleydale are genuinely lovely, and this fits neatly into a broader exploration of the valley. Pair it with a wander round Leyburn's market square afterwards and you've got a decent day sorted.
