Langer Hill is a prominent hill located in the county of Yorkshire, England. With an elevation of approximately 370 meters (1,214 feet), it stands as one of the notable peaks in the region. Situated in the scenic landscape of the Yorkshire Dales, Langer Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

The hill is known for its rugged terrain, characterized by steep slopes and rocky outcrops. It is primarily composed of millstone grit, a type of coarse-grained sandstone that is common in the area. These geological features make Langer Hill an attractive destination for hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a challenging ascent.

The summit of Langer Hill provides visitors with a stunning vantage point, offering sweeping vistas of the rolling hills, lush valleys, and picturesque villages that dot the Yorkshire Dales. On a clear day, it is possible to spot landmarks such as the nearby Three Peaks, Ingleborough, Whernside, and Pen-y-ghent.

The hill is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, with several species of birds, mammals, and plant life inhabiting its slopes. Nature lovers can often spot red grouse, curlews, and hares, among other wildlife, while exploring the hillside.

Langer Hill is easily accessible by foot via various footpaths and trails that crisscross the region. Its proximity to nearby towns, such as Skipton and Settle, allows for convenient access and makes it a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.

Most are remarkably docile considering the noisey market and other bulls must be very strange to them.
