A round out of Burton-in-Kendal bagging Dalton Hill, Hutton Roof Crags, Longfield Hill, Highheads Wood, Hunger Hills, Farleton Fell and Hanging HillPhilipChaston28/01/2024
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 wasScotty 2 Hotty06/01/2024

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.moorsman14/07/2023

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.Jake99421/02/2023

From car park to south. Surprisingly easy gentle ascent. Path developing from trig to high point.russell6111/07/2022
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.summitter22/05/2022

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 Down101/07/2021
Farleton Fell and Hutton Roof Crags on a beautiful, clear day. Barely saw a soul but the views were fantastic. Very underrated fells.Lazylizzie22/05/2021

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.Karmakarl09/12/2020
Go up this one so much by so many routes. Great Geology and flora and ferns do not make for rapid forward progressmountainmary07/12/2020
