As others, parked at Dalton Crags cp to the S and followed various tracks to the trig and hp a little further on. A blustery fine morning. Solo. | richard69 | 01/03/2024 |

A round out of Burton-in-Kendal bagging Dalton Hill, Hutton Roof Crags, Longfield Hill, Highheads Wood, Hunger Hills, Farleton Fell and Hanging Hill | PhilipChaston | 28/01/2024 |
after a brief stop at the car and a delayer I set off on this. straight away i went wrong but didnt realise it till later. got lost and followed paths through the woods back to were i should of been but probably added well over a mile onto the walk. anyway made it to the top, great views from the trig point. followed my planned way back through a cow field and back to the car. got nearly 18, 000 steps in this day and a fantastic day it was | Scotty 2 Hotty | 06/01/2024 |
Nice Hill. Very different to Farleton Knott-a good walk | HardenC | 16/09/2023 |
Gallowber Hill, Longfield Hill, Hutton Roof Crags, Farleton Fell | keithouk | 09/08/2023 |
If only every hill was summitted after such an easy ascent life would be so much better! Excellent, solid parking within the old Dalton Quarry. From here take the left of the two obvious tracks into the trees (opposite the entrance). This will eventually lead you, trouble free, to the trig. Summit slightly further away. | moorsman | 14/07/2023 |
Delightful. | dal | 21/05/2023 |
From the road between the two fells, a second circular walk after doing Farleton Fell. Took the path to Blasterfoot Gap then crossed many superb limestone pavements to the top. Stunning views over the sea in the late afternoon sun. A fantastic place to explore, must come back again soon. | Jake994 | 21/02/2023 |

From quarry car park by various tracks (not all shown on OS 1:25,000 map, but there is a gate in the wall to the west of the trib point) | Rockdoctor | 21/08/2022 |
From car park to south. Surprisingly easy gentle ascent. Path developing from trig to high point. | russell61 | 11/07/2022 |
Hutton Roof Crags and Farleton Fell from the Dalton Crags car park using a whole series of footpaths and tracks. Have passed myriad times going up and down the M6 and wondered what was up here. Really pleased to have discovered it at last. A fascinating place. | summitter | 22/05/2022 |
From the South from Quarry car park | robertgn | 02/05/2022 |
With Izzy and Margo. Started from the parking at SD 55190 76124. A beautiful evening all round after work. Lovely views over to Ingleborough and to the Lakes and Morecambe Bay. Got chilly later on. | James McKnight | 20/04/2022 |

As others up from the car park to the south | Andrew Simmons | 25/09/2021 |
From the picnic site to the S. Huge numbers of flying ants encountered on the walk. | paulhilder | 20/08/2021 |
With Sal from quarry. Hot! | davechaffey | 15/07/2021 |
From car park to the south | callumblack | 02/07/2021 |
From road to N near Limestone Way crossing. More densely vegetated than any other limestone pavement I have seen: in places, limestone blocks are festooned by tree roots like the ruins of lost cities! Many butterflies in the clearings. Finding the true summit is quite entertaining! | Nick Down1 | 01/07/2021 |
Farleton Fell and Hutton Roof Crags on a beautiful, clear day. Barely saw a soul but the views were fantastic. Very underrated fells. | Lazylizzie | 22/05/2021 |
A calm overcast and atmospheric afternoons walk with Andy. From the quarry carpark ( full of Covid ignoring pensioners!).A circuit of the limestone paving,lovely place last visited on James Merryweather's ferns course 2018. | Karmakarl | 09/12/2020 |
Go up this one so much by so many routes. Great Geology and flora and ferns do not make for rapid forward progress | mountainmary | 07/12/2020 |
Was out bouldering and when walking between crags we popped up here | sturuss | 17/10/2020 |
Walk from picnic site car park.Through woods onto fell and back down via path to Dalton then to car park. Lovely sunny day. Last warm one of 2020? | Argentum66 | 27/09/2020 |
Superb approach is from SD 5430 7828 via the nature reserves - a bit further but worth it. Saw a Wall Brown on the summit rock. | jimbloomer | 14/09/2020 |
Followed path from the Quarry car Park, returned via same route...Solo | Dave | 27/08/2020 |
From quarry car park. Also visited trig point. Good views. | CJM | 30/07/2020 |
Nice walk from plain quarry | philz008 | 17/07/2020 |
From the free quarry car park to the SSW, over Hutton Roof Crags and then to Farleton Fell and back. With JT. | Sprog | 20/06/2020 |
Came up from the quarry car park then on to its N Top with large cairn. Down into Hutton Roof village and the path back to the quarry car park | Wayne Mac | 22/02/2020 |
Fine hill, one I imagine I would never get tired of exploring many a time. | Alex C | 15/01/2020 |
1/3 Hutton Roof then Farleton Fell (both revisits) then via Hutton Roof village to Longfield Hill. Nice new year's day walk with the LDWA Group. | nickywood1 | 01/01/2020 |
Low cloud around. Not our first ascent. | m0jla | 19/10/2019 |
Hutton Roof Crags & Farelton Fell from road HP between hills. These are a must for lovers of limestone. There are a number of unmapped tracks (through scrub) on Hutton. | ger | 05/05/2019 |
Great hill | Longwojo | 10/02/2019 |

Another 'interesting' visit to Hutton Roof. This time tackled it from fell road to north, visiting the 'new' high point cunningly detected by the Abney man. Those 60cm make all the difference! This is a great fell to get lost on. | citygent | 22/11/2018 |
Climbed from lay-by on A65 just before M6 via field paths, very quiet country lanes, bridleways cross minor road then onto Hutton roof moor where a meandering path climbs up through stunted shrubs.When limestone crags show through push right onto limestone pavement by large cairn where thin path goes to summit | robert | 15/10/2018 |
Solo. On the way home fter a few days n Keswick. Parked in Quarry car park to the south. Followed path that starts to the left of the picnic tables and continues to the TP. Another 100m approx. to the highest point. Good weather. | mike.hoult | 15/09/2018 |
After Lambrigg Fell, drove down M6 and parked at picnic site in wood to S of hill. Beautiful woodland with native trees and Limestone Pavement. Picked first Blackberries of this year. | IanHHill | 02/08/2018 |
Walked up straight after work (Dalton Hall Business Centre at SD538761 - marked as 'Home Farm'). Very hot and got harassed by flying ants almost constantly. Got a bit disorientated in the woods but eventually found the wide track to the top. Views good but a little hazy. N.B. - no access via Crag House. | James McKnight | 26/07/2018 |
Solo | Vin | 11/07/2018 |
From carpark, then on to the Limestone pavement. | tomd4 | 09/07/2018 |
From the picnic car park to the South. The footpath to the right of the picnic tables leads to the trig then 110m cross bracken to high point. | NormanW | 06/06/2018 |
with Andy his idea to fight through birches lol | colinfielding | 03/05/2018 |
From North followed a good path up to the ridge and then fought our way thru birches. If we had carried on another 200yds a path would have taken us to the top. With Colin. | Andrew Pearson | 03/05/2018 |
