Welcome to Howgill

Howgill is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is surrounded by beautiful hills and valleys. The village is known for its stunning natural beauty and is a popular destination for tourists who come to explore the area's many hiking trails and scenic vistas.

One of the most popular attractions in Howgill is the Howgill Fells, a range of hills that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The fells are a popular destination for hikers and walkers, with many trails and paths winding through the hills and valleys. Visitors can also explore the nearby rivers and streams, which are home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and trout.

Hyning Scout Wood
This Is A Small Woodland Area Where You Can Easily Spend A Good Hour Or So Walking Your Dogs. For Some Dogs I Would Recommend Leads Or Longlines As The Forest Is Surrounded By A Busy Road And Farmers' Fields That Sometimes Contain Livestock. There Are Plenty Of Different Routes To Take In This Forest Making For Some Interesting Walks, Although It Can Get Very Muddy In Autumn And Winter! Depending On Which Routes You Take It Can Be Quite Hilly And Treacherous Under Foot So Care Should Be Taken.
