About Hedgehope Hill
Hedgehope Hill reaches 714m (2,343ft) in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland National Park. It has a neat conical shape for a Cheviot, with heather and grass slopes and a summit trig point beside a large cairn. Comb Fell lies 2.2km to the south-west, and The Cheviot rises 3.7km to the west. It is a Hewitt, Nuttall and HuMP.
The usual route starts in the Harthope Valley near Langleeford, climbing past the rocks of Housey Crags and Long Crags onto the north ridge. You can extend the day west over Comb Fell to The Cheviot and return down the valley.
The ground between Hedgehope and Comb Fell is wet and peaty, with deep hags, and you will find fence lines more useful than paths in places. From the summit you look east across the Northumberland coastal plain towards the sea, and west to the bulk of The Cheviot. Mist settles on these hills often, so carry a map and compass.
Hedgehope Hill is 714 m (2,344 ft) high with 147 m of prominence. It is in Pennines, England. It is the 3rd highest of the 7 summits Peakify lists in Pennines. The nearest summits are Comb Fell (2.2 km), Broadhope Hill (3.8 km) and Shill Moor (4.5 km).
