Access rights in this region
Conditional Right to roam in England: Right to roam only on mapped CRoW open access land — full England access guide.
Some hills here sit on the England–Scotland border, so different access law applies on each side: Scotland's right of responsible access to the north, England's CRoW framework to the south.
This is the general position, not legal advice — local byelaws, seasonal restrictions and closures can override it. See the country-by-country access guide, or query an exact grid reference with the access checker.

Hill data from the Database of British & Irish Hills v18.3 (CC BY 4.0). Prominence is the drop to the hill's key col; a dash means it is not recorded in our dataset.
