Swarth Hill is a prominent landmark located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. Standing at an elevation of 436 meters (1,430 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain due to its size. The hill is part of the Pennines mountain range and offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby towns of Grassington and Skipton.

Swarth Hill is a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, with a network of footpaths and trails leading to the summit. The climb to the top is relatively moderate, making it accessible to hikers of all skill levels. Along the way, visitors can enjoy the diverse flora and fauna that populate the hillside, including heather, bracken, and various species of birds.

At the summit of Swarth Hill, there is a trig point that marks the highest point and serves as a reference point for surveying. On a clear day, visitors can see for miles around, taking in the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales landscape. Swarth Hill is a peaceful and picturesque spot for a day of hiking and exploration in the heart of the English countryside.

Boundary stone near Kirkby Overblow This stone bears the letters K-F for Knaresborough Forest, and is dated 1767. The stone stands on part of the southern boundary of the medieval hunting forest of Knaresborough which covered a large swathe of countryside and moorland to the west of Knaresborough across land now occupied by Harrogate and for several miles beyond. The significance of the date on the stone is unknown and more research about its history is needed.
