Discover Delaware
Delaware's northern hills offer a very different interpretation of a three peaks journey. Iron Hill, Chestnut Hill and Horseshoe Hill are modest elevations rather than mountain summits, and their character belongs to the rolling country around Newark. The interest is in the local landscape, not in altitude or an alpine skyline.
Keeping the selection in northern Delaware gives it a coherent geographical focus. These named hills sit within a landscape of woodland, settlements and the transition towards the coastal plain. A Delaware enquiry should therefore be shaped around hill country and its surrounding places, with the specific land access and appropriate stops established during planning rather than assumed from the presence of a name on the map.
