Cockden Hill is a prominent feature located in the Yorkshire Dales, specifically in the county of North Yorkshire, England. Situated near the village of Rathmell, it forms part of the Pennine range and stands at an elevation of 402 meters (1319 feet) above sea level.

The hill is characterized by its distinctive conical shape, which makes it easily recognizable from the surrounding landscape. It is composed mainly of Millstone Grit, a type of sandstone commonly found in the region. The exposed rock formations on Cockden Hill display layers of sedimentary deposits, providing geologists and nature enthusiasts with valuable insights into the area's geological history.

Cockden Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, visitors can see the rolling hills, lush valleys, and picturesque villages spread out beneath them. The hill is also home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including heather, bilberry, and several bird species such as curlews and skylarks.

Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to Cockden Hill for its excellent walking and hiking trails. The ascent to the summit is relatively moderate, making it accessible to most fitness levels. At the top, a trig point marks the highest point and acts as a popular spot for visitors to take photographs or simply soak in the stunning vistas.

Cockden Hill is not only a natural landmark but also a significant part of Yorkshire's cultural heritage. Its beauty and serenity make it a cherished destination for locals and tourists alike, providing a perfect opportunity to connect with the stunning natural landscape of the Yorkshire Dales.
