Heard of the Dales 30?

Paul Jackson ingleborough

You've heard of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks but what about the Dales 30? Love to walk and tick places off your list? Jonathan Smith at Where2Walk is keen to show the beauty of the Dales' Hewitts: The Dales 30. They're all hills of at least 2000 feet, with a drop of 100 feet on all sides so you're certain of amazing vistas. Many are lesser-known routes so you'll have a wonderful 'King of the Castle' feeling when you reach the top. Here's the list - which do you already know?

1. Whernside

2. Ingleborough

3. Great Shunner Fell

4. High Seat

5. Wild Boar Fell

6. Great Whernside

7. Buckden Pike

8. Pen y Ghent

9. Great Coum

10. Swarth Fell

11. Plover Hill

12. Baugh Fell, Tarn Rigg Hill

13. The Calf

14. Lovely Seat

15. Calders

16. Great Knoutberry Hill

17. Rogan’s Seat

18. Dodd Fell Hill

19. Fountain’s Fell

20. Little Fell

21. Nine Standards Rigg

22. Simon Fell (Ingleborough)

23. Yockenthwaite Moor

24. Fell Head

25. Yarlside

26. Gragareth

27. Darnbrook Fell

28. Randygill Top

29. Drumaldrace (Wether Fell)

30. Birks Fell

Pen y Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough are a great challenge but the Three-Peaks Rangers are constantly battling to deal with path erosion and on some days the Three Peaks are pretty busy, so if you're looking for a walking challenge, the Dales 30is a good alternative.
