Getting to Fewling Stones by bus
The nearest bus stop we hold is the UB2 at Askham, outside Stores, 10.7 km of walking from the start — not realistically reachable without a car. This looks like a seasonal service. Our timetable data has the UB2 stopping on 1 November 2026, but we haven’t confirmed that with the operator — so treat it as a reason to check rather than a date to plan around.
Rural routes change seasonally — confirm on stagecoachbus.com (opens in new tab) or Traveline before relying on a last bus.

Terrain & access
A pathless top (about 509 m) — the nearest mapped path is about 322 m away, the open ground you’d cross to the summit (about 13 m of ascent, up to ~15°). The summit is on CRoW open access land.
Computed from open data, not walked — pathless ground needs confident navigation, and mapped paths, barriers and access boundaries can be incomplete.
