Lantern Pike is a hill found just outside Hayfield in Derbyshire. The land lies within the Peak District National Park and is owned and maintained by the National Trust. It is permanently open to the public.
The Pike reaches a height of 1,224 feet at its summit, and from here there are fine views in all directions over the High Peak.
The hill is a popular hiking destination, and is often considered a continuation of nearby Kinder Scout, Derbyshire's county top.
According to the Peak District National Park Authority, the name 'Lantern Pike' probably comes from the fact the hill was used as a beacon. The hill gives its name to the Lantern Pike Inn, in nearby Little Hayfield.
