Wild Boar Fell is one of the highest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales, but its visitor numbers are tiny in comparison to the likes of Ingleborough and Whernside. The few who do make the trip to Wild Boar Fell, and the even smaller number who also ascend its sister peak Swarth Fell, tend to set out from Mallerstang in the east, leaving this approach from Uldale in the west all but deserted. These are not jagged mountains and there is little chance of an adrenaline rush, but there are few places in England where you can feel quite so removed from society.
