Buckden Pike reaches 702m (2,303ft) on the east side of Upper Wharfedale, above the villages of Buckden and Starbotton. It is a long, rounded fell with limestone scars on its lower slopes and peat and grass on top, where a wall runs past the trig point. Great Whernside, a little higher, lies 6.4km to the south-east. It is a Hewitt, Nuttall and Marilyn.
From Buckden a bridleway climbs north-east towards Buckden Rake and the high ground, then you follow the wall south to the summit. From Starbotton you can climb the Walden Road track and walk north along the ridge.
South of the summit, a memorial cross marks the site of a wartime air crash. The top can be boggy after rain, and the wall gives you a reliable handrail in mist.
