Updated: Mar 5, 2025
Our top first time hills or hills with toddlers or baby carriers.
If you are a terrain pram expert and there is 2 of you, then you could get a mountain buggy too most of these summits, especially Latrigg, and Binsey.
Remember miles and ascent varies depending on route you take up/down so they are approximate, but we have more details via the wainwrights section on each walk individually.
Ariya walked all of these between the ages of 20 months and 4 years.
