Tan Hill, Summit in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England.
Tan Hill stands at 1,732 feet above sea level, featuring extensive moorland views and a network of walking trails across the North Yorkshire landscape.
Coal extraction occurred at Tan Hill from 1384 until 1929, initially supplying Richmond Castle with fuel through shallow mining operations in the upper seams.
The location marks a significant point along the Pennine Way, connecting walkers to centuries of mining heritage in the Yorkshire Dales region.
Visitors can access Tan Hill via an 11-mile drive from Kirkby Stephen, with the summit offering parking facilities near the historical Tan Hill Inn.
The geological formation contains Upper Howgate Edge Grit, a coarse-grained sandstone from the Carboniferous period with coal-bearing shale layers.
