Pen-y-Ghent

Highlight • Summit

For those tackling the Yorkshire Three Peaks in the traditional counterclockwise direction, Pen-y-Ghent is the first summit you reach. At 2,277 feet (694 m), it's the smallest of the three but boasts incredible views of the golden landscape. With decent paths and a few scrambles to boot, it's the perfect warm-up for what's to come.

Pen-y-Ghent Southern Scramble Ascent

Highlight • Trail

It's steep and rocky, but exhilarating and all easily manageable. The standard three peaks route ascends this way, so if you plan on descending here on a weekend, it's likely that you will be against the flow of a lot of traffic. Save it for a quieter mid-week if you can
