The highest point of the
traditional county of
Lancashire is
Coniston Old Man, which, together with the rest of
Furness became part of
Cumbria in 1974. A walkers' guide cites Green Hill, south of the Old Man, as the
county top for Lancashire, lying on the border with Cumbria, and Ordnance Survey data record Green Hill as one metre higher than
Gragareth, about southwest of Green Hill. Gragareth's summit
trig point, at , lies a couple of hundred metres within Lancashire. Another county top close to Green Hill is
Whernside, , the highest point in
North Yorkshire. The summit of Green Hill, although relatively dull in itself, provides many excellent views in all directions ranging from the
Howgill Fells and
Lakeland fells to the north, the
Pennines in the east, and a majority of North Yorkshire to the south. ==County Stone==
