Little Whernside, Mountain summit in North Yorkshire, England.
Little Whernside reaches an elevation of 604 meters above sea level, featuring a flat plateau with scattered peat formations at its peak.
The mountain gained public access rights in 1997 when authorities established a footpath connecting its summit to Great Whernside, located 4.54 kilometers away.
The Yorkshire Dales landscape surrounding Little Whernside maintains traditional farming practices, with local shepherds guiding their flocks through the valleys.
Hikers can start their ascent from Scar House Reservoir, following marked trails that lead through varying terrain requiring sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing.
The mountain forms a natural watershed boundary between Coverdale and Nidderdale, influencing the water distribution patterns across the Yorkshire region.
