Mam Tor

Scenic spot

👍👍 There is a car park found off of the main road. It's a national trust car park. If you're not a member you will have to pay either by phone or use the app. It cost me £4.50 for 2 hours. All around below there are smaller roads and people park along here, and this is the reason why. However, the car...

Farleton Knott

Scenic spot

👍👍 A really nice little hill. Views over to Morecambe Bay, Ingleborough, South Lakes etc. etc. You can see the M6 motorway, Kendal, Heysham Power Station, Grange over Sands, the Kent Estuary. If you like Limestone pavement you're well catered for. The landscape is incredibly varied for such a small are...

Baslow Edge

Scenic spot

👍👍 We decided to visit Baslow Edge on our journey up to the Peak District to kill soke time before we could check in to our hotel. Absolutely breathtaking views, heather a thousand shades of pink and purple crown the vast rocks that litter landscape. I even saw a butterfly I'd never seen before! Walkin...

Derwent Dam Viewpoint

Scenic spot

👍👍 There has been a lot of effort put into pathways around the dams to ensure a lovely long and comfortable walk, and it's great for cyclists too. Dogs are welcome but must remain leashed at all times due to the livestock and wildlife. Beautiful scenery and many historical info boards and features dott...

Monsal Dale - Headstone Viaduct

Scenic spot

Old Pale Hill

Scenic spot

👍👍 Beautiful, peaceful, tranquil and visually expensive. Easy accessible walk. I've seen old people, young people, hikers, walkers, runners, and everyone in-between up here. Plenty of seating but as it's a 360° view then it can get windy so bring a light jacket.

4.80 (360 reviews) (~75.86 km from centre)

Buttertubs Pass

Scenic spot

👍👍 Amazing views and a nice road for an early morning trundle while there's no traffic. Gets busier later. Viewing spot at the top is stunning. Stopped here to watch the sun rise on a Sunday and never saw another person 👌

The Wainstones

Scenic spot

👍👍 We had our to young daughters with us 7 and 10 years and they managed the hike to the top fine. We also had our dog Sam. Great views from the top and there is a nice little coffee place if you are on the clay bank side that is very reasonable. 50p for a bottle of water.

4.80 (235 reviews) (~96.52 km from centre)

Cautley Spout

Tourist attraction

👍👍 England's highest waterfall. Lovely 2.5 mile walk from Cross Keys Temperance Inn. Can park in layby, then down a small set of steps near a fishing sign. Cross river on foot bridge and then follow the grassy path to the waterfall. Wouldn't advise climbing to high on the path in bad weather, can get s...

Devil's Bridge

Scenic spot

👍👍 Love it here. Can easily get down to the waters edge to go for a paddle on a sunny day. Massive field with plenty of picnic tables. Really nice walk along the river into Kirkby Lonsdale, nice little market town with quaint shops and pubs.

Helsby Hill

Scenic spot

👍👍 You park up at the car park for Helsby quarry. Short walk up a steep hill gets you into wilderness to explore. Further up and you are at the top with views of Cheshire and beyond overlooking Helsby. On a clear day, outlines of Liverpool cathedrals and the Welsh hills can be seen. Serene atmosphere....

Hessle Foreshore

Scenic spot

👍👍 2/1/23 Great place for relaxing and walking around to absorb the fresh air and calm scenery. Even though today is freezing but I saw a lot of people walking, running and parking and picnicking in their cars. It is a friendly area for dog walks too. Free parking is enough for around 15 cars per parki...

Whitegate Station

Scenic spot

👍👍 Great little find, perfect pit stop on our bike ride and very dog friendly too (there were plenty of owners meeting to have some free training). Nice coffee, great looking cakes - although I didn’t have one, ‘coz I’m an athlete (honest!!). Will be making this one of my regular cycling routes. Than...

Allen Brickworks

Scenic spot

👍👍 My life coach, Waxy Al, often takes me here to reflect on things. Mostly I rant about this ginger guy from my work who literally chats about the gym like he's shredded (he's not)... It's a great place to express your feelings, the acoustics are incredible!

4.60 (40 reviews) (~8.76 km from centre)

Ardsley Reservoir

Scenic spot

👍 There’s free parking for probably about 10 cars in a car park just off the reservoir. The walk takes about 20 minutes for one round, I usually walk two. You can get a pram / pushchair around here, I use an all terrain one, but any with good sized wheels would be fine.
