Wolfhole Crag and Millers House from Tower Lodge -
10miles & 1650 ft
Leaving the little parking area near Tower Lodge on The Marshaw River Wyre |
Wolfhole Crag soon comes into view on the horizon |
The ridge is reached after a couple of hours and Ingleborough, the first of the Yorkshire Three Peaks comes into view.... |
....then Pen-y-Ghent.... |
....followed by Whernside with just a hint of snow clinging to the summit wall |
My own summit of Wolfhole Crag is reached at 527m.... |
....from which Pendle Hill to the south can be seen as well |
Wolfhole Crag is named after the 'Wolf Hole' under the crags on the summit |
Now on the descent via Millers House |
The Brennand valley comes into view, with its river Dunsop leading down to the geographic centre of mainland Britain, ie. the village of Dunsop Bridge. |
Finally, a last stop at Millers House, where I found the remains of a part-made but broken millstone. The rock in this region is called Millstone Grit after its usage. |
Arriving back at the car after a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting walk. |
