Wenningber Hill

The walk up Wenningber Hill from Skipton way takes you through proper Yorkshire moorland - rough grass, limestone outcrops, the works. It's not a big climb by fell standards, but the views back across the Dales make it worth the effort. On a clear day you can see for miles across open country that feels genuinely remote, even though you're not far from civilisation.

The summit itself is modest - a cairn and a windswept plateau - but walkers love it. You'll see fell runners tackle this regularly, and families with older kids who've got their boots broken in will find it a solid half-day outing. The terrain's a bit rough underfoot in places, so trainers won't cut it.

Allow two to three hours return from the nearest trailhead, depending on your pace and how long you fancy lingering at the top. There's no visitor centre or facilities up there, so bring water and something to eat. Summer's the obvious choice, but autumn can be equally good if the weather holds.

If you're staying at one of the nearby glamping spots - Malham Glamping Pods and Hedgerow Luxury Glamping are both exceptional - this slots in nicely with a broader Dales walking holiday. It's the sort of hill that won't dominate your day but genuinely rewards the climb.
