Clickemin Hill is a prominent hill located in Durham, England. It sits at an elevation of 225 meters (738 feet) above sea level and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The hill is popular with hikers and nature enthusiasts due to its well-maintained trails and diverse flora and fauna.

The name "Clickemin" is thought to originate from the Old English words "clycc" meaning hill and "dun" meaning fort, suggesting that the hill may have been used as a defensive position in ancient times. Archaeological evidence supports this theory, with the remains of an Iron Age hill fort found on the summit of Clickemin Hill.

Today, visitors to Clickemin Hill can explore the ancient ruins and enjoy a leisurely walk through the picturesque landscape. The hill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey and rare plants.
