Green Hill

Situated on the transition between the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, this 419-metre Tump offers a solitary experience away from the region's honeypot paths. Its grassy slopes provide a contrast to the surrounding peat hags, making it a quiet vantage point for surveying the remote moorland landscape between Kirkby Stephen and Tan Hill.

• •The name is a straightforward descriptive term from Middle English, traditionally used by farmers and drovers to identify a fell with better grazing potential than the 'black' heather-clad moors nearby.
• •To the south-west, the summit offers clear views of the dramatic limestone scars of Wild Boar Fell and the long, dark plateau of Mallerstang Edge.
• •Looking east across the moorland, it is often possible to spot the isolated white building of the Tan Hill Inn, which holds the title of the highest pub in the British Isles.
• •With dozens of 'Green Hills' scattered across the Pennines, this particular summit relies more on its specific grid reference than its name to ensure walkers actually end up on the right hill.
