Muker, Thwaite and Keld

10.8km · 169m climb · Loop · 8.2km away

HARD

Wild Boar Fell, Swarth Fell and Swarth Fell Pike from Mallerstang

22.7km · 708m climb · Loop · 13km away

Three summits joined by a single ridge, a ruined castle at the start, and some of the emptiest fell running anywhere in the Yorkshire Dales boundary.

21.9km · 547m climb · Loop · 14km away

10.4km · 151m climb · Loop · 14km away

Two proper Yorkshire landmarks in one short morning out - tumbling waterfalls and a 700 year old castle - for less climbing than your local parkrun.
