If there’s one mountain everyone wants to climb, it is Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain. Most keen walkers will be able to get to the top, but it’s a long climb. From the top of the mountain, there are spectacular views across the valley of Wasdale.

In the Yorkshire Dales, experienced walkers and climbers could try the Three Peaks Yorkshire Dales challenge. The walk is approximately 23 miles in length and takes you on a superb circular of the hills.
