Hiking
Backstone Edge at 699 metres is a UK-designated Nuttall, and is not famed for its distinctive summit or views. It lies between High Cup Nick and Dufton Pike, and as such, you can make a stunning walk taking in Backstone Edge with these more noted scenic wonders. The top of Backstone is marked by a stone cairn on a rather flat moorland plateau, and nearby is Backstone Edge trig point.
