Burbles Hill is a prominent natural landmark located in the county of Yorkshire, England. Standing at an elevation of 320 meters (1,050 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain due to its relatively moderate height. Situated in the picturesque countryside, Burbles Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.

The hill is characterized by its rolling green slopes, covered in a patchwork of lush grasses and scattered wildflowers during the summer months. It is predominantly composed of sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and limestone, which have been gradually shaped by weathering and erosion over millions of years. These geological formations add to the charm and beauty of Burbles Hill.

Access to the hill is facilitated by a network of well-maintained hiking trails, which wind their way up the hillside. These trails cater to visitors of all abilities, from casual walkers to seasoned hikers. The ascent to the summit can be moderately challenging, but the reward is the breathtaking panoramic view that awaits at the top.

The summit of Burbles Hill is marked by an ancient stone cairn, which has stood the test of time and serves as a testament to the hill's historical significance. It is believed that the cairn was used as a marker by early settlers to navigate the surrounding countryside.

Overall, Burbles Hill is a natural gem in Yorkshire, offering visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of the English countryside while enjoying panoramic views, invigorating hikes, and a sense of connection to the region's rich history.

Highest point seems to be on the west side of the wall near where my ski poles are. The spot height appears on the easterly side of wall but doesn't look to be the highest point.
