Finding the summit
ground 160m SW at SD 76161 76866, 90m SSW at SD 76249 76898 and 130m S at SD 76297 76852 is as high.
The recorded summit point is no feature: ground N of wall. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

Reaching Park Fell by train
2 National Rail stations sit within 8 km of the summit — close enough to make a car-free day of it. Distances are straight lines, not walking routes.
| Station | From summit | Summit lies |
|---|---|---|
| Ribblehead | 2 km | S of the station |
| Horton-In-Ribblesdale | 6 km | NW of the station |
Each station page lists every hill in its reach, long-distance paths from the door and a live-times link — see all stations with hills in reach. Station positions from NaPTAN (OGL v3.0).
Get food nearby
3 places to eat or drink within 10 km of the summit, rated under the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (Scotland runs its own Food Hygiene Information Scheme, a pass/fail equivalent).

| Blind Beck Tearooms | Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen | 5 out of 5 | 5.6 km · SE |

Classifications and ratings are the local authority's own and can be coarse — this is a lead, not a guarantee of opening hours or that food is served to non-residents. Follow a name through to the official rating page to check, and confirm before you rely on it.

Which hill this one belongs to
Park Fell is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Ingleborough (723 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 530 m.
Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
