Pen-y-Ghent

Pen-y-Ghent, one of Yorkshire's Three Peaks

Pen-y-Ghent is one of the Yorkshire Dale’s Three Peaks and the lowest at 2,277 feet (694 metres). There are good paths to the top from most directions, the most popular route starting and ending in Horton in Ribblesdale. A diversion to Hull Pot, a collapsed cavern, is highly recommended. Pen-y-Ghent is tackled by many as part of the Three Peaks Yorkshire Challenge.

At 2,960 feet (899 metres) high, it is famed for its views – both along the way and from the summit, where (on a clear day) the Lakes’ radial drainage can be fullty appreciated – and for the sheer satisfaction of doing it.
