Pen-y-ghent

Pen-y-ghent or Penyghent is a fell in the Yorkshire Dales. It is one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, the other two being Ingleborough and Whernside. It lies some east of Horton in Ribblesdale. The Pennine Way links the summit to the village; the route is around in length as the Way curves initially to the north before turning east to reach the summit.
The more direct route that traverses the southern 'nose' of the hill is the route usually taken by those attempting the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, as the walk is usually (but not exclusively) done in an anti-clockwise direction starting and finishing in Horton in Ribblesdale. The other main hillwalking route on the hill heads north from the summit to reach Plover Hill before descending to join the bridleway that is Foxup Road.
In the Cumbric language, exactly as in today's Welsh, ''Pen'' meant 'top' or 'head', and ''y'' is most likely the definite article (''the''), exactly as in Modern Welsh ''y''. These elements are common in placenames throughout the island, and especially in Wales (compare Penyberth 'end of the hedge/copse', or Penyffordd 'head of the road/way', etc.). The element ''ghent'' is more obscure, however: it could be taken to be 'edge' or 'border'.〔(Bibby, p. 120)〕 The name ''Pen-y-ghent'' could therefore mean 'Hill on the border'.〔(Ekwall)〕 Alternatively, ''ghent'' could mean 'wind' or 'winds' – from the closest Welsh transliteration, ''gwynt'' ('wind'). Thus it might mean simply 'Head of the Winds'. It is also acceptable to write the name as ''Pen y Ghent'' rather than ''Pen-y-ghent''.
