There's a good trail on the ground either from Flasby (the more interesting route) or Skipton side, and a rocky summit with a trig point - the perfect destination for a fell run

Although it's a modest hill, the views from the top are superb north towards the Yorkshire Dales, West towards Lancashire and south across the West Yorkshire moors

This hill is only at 206m, but the views of the Dales from here are fabulous and extensive. On its southern side, there is a disused grassed-over quarry thrown in for good measure. Note: the actual summit is off the main path, and if walking off path over hilly grass is not quite your thing, you might need to admire it from a distance.
