Cumbrian cottages like this make an ideal base for some great walking. From this comfortable cottage one of the highlights of the northern Pennines, High Cup Nick, can be reached from the doorstep. This classic U-shaped valley high on the western flanks of the Pennines is probably one of the most spectacular places in England, and a favourite walk of mine. The route along the Pennine Way from Dufton is a relatively straight forward ascent, with the valley opening up before you as you reach the 'Nick'. From here the sparse moorland stretches across to crags which form two other highlights across the Pennine watershed - High Force and Cauldron Snout. To return via the valley itself provides the best views, however the descent immediately below the nick is steep and quite rocky, but well worth it!
