From the Wikipedia article
Plover Hill is an area of moorland lying to the north of Pen-y-ghent in the Yorkshire Dales and connected to it by an unbroken area of high ground. Whilst the whole area is now "open access land", the main right-of-way footpaths come directly from the north off Foxup Road and directly from the south from the summit of Pen-y-ghent. Plover Hill rises between two side valleys of Littondale: the valley of Hesleden Beck to the south and that of Foxup Beck to the north. It lies within the civil parish of Halton Gill.
