Lantern Pike is a hill located just outside
National Trust. It is permanently open to the public. According to Ordnance Survey, it is 373 metres (1,224 ft) in height (measured by air survey).[1]
According to the booklet 10 Walks Around Hayfield, published by the Peak District National Park Authority, the name Lantern Pike probably comes from the hill's use as a beacon.
The hill is a popular hiking destination, and is often considered a continuation of nearby Kinder Scout. The Peak District Boundary Walk runs south to north past the summit[2] and the Pennine Bridleway crosses the eastern flank of the hill.[1]
Lantern Pike gives its name to the Lantern Pike Inn in nearby Little Hayfield.[3]
