Ditchling
Beacon
Location: South
Downs, Sussex Notes: A splendid little hill, the highest point in East Sussex is a popular place with a view encompassing huge tracts of Sussex to the north and glimpses of Newhaven, Brighton and the English Channel to the south. The trig point is close to the scarp slope and it's only necessary to walk thirty or forty metres to the north for the best views. The hill can be climbed from nearby villages such as Ditchling or Clayton, the latter just fifteen minutes' walk from Hassocks railway station. Drivers can cheat by parking up just a few minutes' walk from the top off a lane to the east. |

Dodd
Location: Lake
District,
Western Fells Notes: Dodd is an outlier of the Buttermere Red Pike, and overlooks both the lake and village of Buttermere. It is easily visited from the standard ascent route of Red Pike, by turning right after the steep pull up from Bleaberry Tarn. It's worth it for the view. |

Dodd Fell
Location: Yorkshire
Dales,
Wensleydale Notes: Dodd Fell is a wasteland of rough grasses and peat hags laying some 600m east of the line of the Pennine Way just after it crosses the watershed between Ribblesdale and Wensleydale. It has little merit either as a viewpoint or as a place to be and its climb, though perfectly straightforward, is unrewarding. The nearest road access is Kidhow Gate, reached from upper Wensleydale, from where it's a mere 20 minute walk. A summit for list-tickers only. |

Druim
Shionnach
Location: Scottish
Highlands,
Kintail Notes: The second of seven Munros of the celebrated South Glenshiel ridge (counted from the eastern end), Druim Shionnach ("Foxes' Ridge") is only thirty minutes' walk from the first, Creag a Mhaim. The reascent is some 350ft. The last part of the connecting ridge is a surprisingly narrow arete, though it's less scary than Striding Edge in the Lakes and is unlikely to prove difficult to the average hillwalker. The view is similar to that from its neighbour except that the third Munro along the ridge, Aonach air Chrith, looks quite daunting. The Kintail peaks to the north and the Quoich and Knoydart hills to the south provide a splendid panorama. |

Dunkery
Beacon
Location: Exmoor,
Somerset Notes: Dunkery Beacon is the highest summit of Exmoor, a national park that straddles the counties of Devon and Somerset close to the Bristol Channel coast. Although much of Exmoor is heath, moor and rough pasture, the summit of Dunkery Beacon itself is quite stony. As well as the usual OS trig pillar the summit features an enormous cairn and a topograph. The summit is only a few hundred metres from the lonely Luccombe to Wheddon Cross road, though walkers wanting to make it part of a worthwhile expedition might like to tackle it from Porlock, via the valley of Horner Water. The view is extensive and includes much of Exmoor, extending across Devon to Dartmoor, across Somerset to the Quantocks and across the Bristol Channel to Wales. On the clearest days the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons might just be glimpsed. |

Eildon Mid
Hill
Location: Southern
Uplands.
Melrose Notes: Eildon Mid Hill is the highest of a group of three hills that stand in isolation south of the town of Melrose, in the Tweed valley. Their isolation among the plains of the Tweed make them superb viewpoints, and some two thousand years ago a Roman signal station was sited on the north hill, barely a mile away. The summit of Eildon Mid Hill is only a few hundred metres off the route of St Cuthberts Way, which crosses the col between the mid and north hills, and the hill can be climbed from Melrose in well under an hour. There is a topograph on the summit but it is badly worn - however, the view encompasses the Cheviots, the Ettrick Hills, Yair Forest, the Meldons, Moorfoots, Pentlands and Lammermuirs, as well as the towns of St Boswells and Galashiels. |

Fairfield
Location: Lake
District,
Eastern Fells Notes: This celebrated fell, laying at the apex of three ridges between Grasmere and Kirkstone Pass, is the 14th highest summit in England and is not far short of Munro height. Its southeastern and southwestern ridges form the famous Fairfield Horseshoe, an excellent full day circular walk from Ambleside. The northeast ridge is also full of interest, including the impressive height of St Sunday Crag as well as the awkward little topknott of Cofa Pike. Views are glorious, that to the north especially, across Grizedale Tarn towards Helvellyn and Striding Edge. The pass of Grizedale offers ascent routes from Grasmere and from Patterdale, though the climb from Grizedale Hause is very steep. Perhaps the easiest way up is from Grasmere via Stone Arthur and Great Rigg. |

Firle Beacon
Location: South
Downs, East
Sussex Notes: Firle Beacon is a fine grassy top, the highest point of the South Downs between Alfriston and Southease. The seven mile walk between the two locations makes for a fine half day expitition, although there are two car parks right on the ridgeline a mile east and west of the summit respectively, for those who like their summit conquests to be easy. Newhaven and its harbour are well seen to the south, Lewes and Cliffe Hill are nearby to the north, while the ridge of the South Downs itself stretches away both east and west. |

Gategill
Fell
Top
Location: Lake
District,
Northern Fells Notes: The west top of Blencathra. From Blencathra's principal summit, Hallsfell, Gategill Fell Top appears as a distinct pyramid shape further west along the summit ridge. It's invariably visited as part of Blencathra's ridge walk and yields excellent views each way along the ridge, south and southwest across Derwentwater to the bulk of the Lakeland fells, and westwards to Skiddaw. |

Gibson
Knott
Location: Lake
District,
Central Fells Notes: An unfrequented fell, the highest on High Raise's lateral ridge that terminates in Helm Crag above Grasmere. Gibson Knott is unusually rocky for a fell of such modest height and its climb is not without effort - the most usual approach is from Grasmere via Helm Crag. The view is restricted by higher fells in most directions, but Grasmere looks delightful from here. |
