Gragareth

Gragareth, Mountain summit in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England

Description

Gragareth is a 628-meter summit in the Yorkshire Dales National Park topped with a small cairn and a trig point. From the top, you can see across to Morecambe Bay and toward the Lake District fells.

History

The area was once called Greygarth Fell and marks the boundary between Lancashire and North Yorkshire. The landscape here is shaped by one of England's highest dry stone walls, which runs along the ridge.

Culture

The three stone towers on the western side serve as traditional markers that walkers have used for orientation across the landscape. They shape how people navigate and understand this place in their daily relationship with the fells.

Practical

A circular route of about five kilometers starts from Leck Fell House to reach the summit. Parking is available near the entrance gate, and the path is open and exposed to the weather.

Did you know?

Several cave systems lie hidden beneath the limestone surface, including Lost John's Cave, Rumbling Hole, and Ireby Fell Cavern. These underground passages reveal the complex geology beneath what appears to be an ordinary fell from above.
