🌟 Explore Great Coum: A Walk From Dent Featuring Flinter Gill and Crag Hill
📍 Great Coum is a quieter and less frequented area compared to other popular walking destinations in the Yorkshire Dales. You’ll likely encounter few other hikers, even on clear days. Its off-the-beaten-path location and fairly steep climb make it an ideal choice for those seeking solitude and a more peaceful walking experience.
🥾 Starting in Dent, this circular walk guides you through the woodlands of Flinter Gill and the open countryside, leading to the summit of Great Coum. From there, continue to Crag Hill, where the views of the surrounding landscape are amazing.
🌄 Along the way, you’ll pass historic sites, like the High Ground Farmstead in Flinter Gill, and pass through charming villages and hamlets, including Dent and Slack. The walk concludes with a relaxing riverside stroll along the Dales High Way, bringing you back to Dent village, where you can enjoy its cobbled streets and traditional cottages.
