Rocky Path in North Pennines National Landscape

Greg's Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At an altitude of 2,357 feet (718 m), Greg’s Hut is the highest bothy in England. Located close to Cross Fell, the highest point in the Pennines, this free-to-use cottage is helpfully situated in a remote part of the hills that's prone to bad weather.

There are basic facilities at the bothy and it makes for a good place for a lunch break or an overnight stop. For more information, visit gregshut.org.uk.
