I know where most of the hillforts in my neck of the woods are (Wiltshire/Wessex) but am wondering if there are hillforts in the Yorkshire Dales as am going there in May for a walk about. Any pointers from anyone would be appreciated.

Hi tjj Hope I've read your question right. Try pinch to zoom on the map. Click orange dots for info. https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/pinch-to-zoom.htm#:~:text=Pinch%2Dto%2Dzoom%20refers%20to,or%20together%20to%20zoom%20out. I find changing map from aerial photography to open street map easier to find my way about (click on box of 4 squares at bottom to change)

Will play around with it a bit and perhaps get map reading friend on board. Problem is they are a bit old school and don't own a smart phone :)
