Plover Hill, Mountain summit in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England
Plover Hill is a mountain summit in the Yorkshire Dales that rises to 680 meters. It sits between the Hesleden Beck valley and Foxup Beck valley, connected by elevated terrain to nearby peaks.
The Yorkshire Dales region formed through geological processes over millions of years, creating layers of limestone and millstone grit. Human settlement and land use in the area developed gradually over centuries.
Local farmers maintain traditional sheep grazing practices on Plover Hill's slopes, preserving centuries-old agricultural methods of Yorkshire Dales.
You can reach this summit through several walking routes, including paths from Horton in Ribblesdale and Foxup Road. Good footwear is recommended as terrain can be steep and wet depending on recent weather.
The summit has a flat plateau that offers clear views across both surrounding valleys. This level top is unusual in this hilly terrain and makes the location easy to reach.
