Starting in Kettlewell the Wharfedale Three Peaks, located in the Yorkshire Dales,  is a much quieter alternative to the more traditional Yorkshire Three Peaks. It is centred around the village of Kettlewell in Upper Wharfedale and covers the three summits of Great WhernsideBuckden Pike, and Birks Fell. As well as being quieter (you may only see a handful of other walkers on the whole route), it’s also tougher terrain than the Yorkshire Three Peaks as it lacks all the purpose built paths and instead takes you over bogs, moorland, and farmland on a combination of footpaths, farm tracks, sheep tracks, and sometimes no tracks at all. For this reason, many believe that this challenge is the harder of the two.
