The Yorkshire 3 Peaks – 2 Distinctive, 1 Boring?<\/h1>\n

I’ve always loved Ingleborough and Pen y Gent yet found Whernside a boring hill to look at.\u00a0As kids playing on Pendle Hill we could easily see the\u00a0Yorkshire 3 Peaks\u00a0on a clear day – 2 very distinctive mountains and one boring lump<\/p>\n

But on a day out with my parents, we drove up through Slaidburn to Bentham and I saw the 2 peaks and this other one I didn’t recognise.<\/p>\n

It’s a completely different look – a long ridge and distinctive pyramid shape when viewed from Bentham!<\/p>\n

Put the 3 together and they look like this – you can see the 3 peaks are a long way from each other – left to right you have<\/p>\n

    Whernside it a few feet taller than Ingleborough, though further away in this photo – hence looking a bit smaller.<\/p>\n
