Housedon Hill

Housedon Hill rises to an elevation of 266 meters, marking the northernmost Marilyn peak in England, just 7 kilometers from the Scottish border.

The legal access to Housedon Hill remained restricted until the implementation of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act in 2000, which designated parts as access land.

The hill's classification as both a Marilyn and a Clem reflects traditional British hill-walking categories based on relative height measurements and geographical prominence.

Hikers can start their ascent from Housedonhaugh on the southwest flank, following established paths through forestry plantations toward the summit.

The northwestern slopes of Housedon Hill contain extensive forestry plantations, creating a distinct contrast with the open summit areas and surrounding terrain.
