Simonstone is a quiet hamlet on the road that climbs up high, out of Wensleydale towards Swaledale on the Buttertubs Pass. The views over Wensleydale from here are spectacular...

Shunner Fell, the highest point in upper Wensleydale, is above Simonstone. On a clear day you can stand here in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and see the Lake District National Park to the west and the North York Moors National Park to the east.
