Your guide to Dufton
Dufton is an attractive Eden Valley village on the Pennine Way, best known as the gateway to the dramatic glacial valley of High Cup Nick.
Traditional stone buildings and a broad village green create a classic rural setting beneath the North Pennines. The village has long served travellers crossing the high ground and remains an important stop for Pennine Way walkers.
The route to High Cup Nick is the main draw, offering one of Cumbria’s most memorable upland views. Shorter walks around Dufton and the Eden Valley provide alternatives when weather makes the high route unsuitable.
