Small castellated folly on the moor above Ramsbottom offering dramatic views across the Irwell Valley and surrounding Pennine ridges. Best at golden hour or after rain when low clouds and saturated greens add mood. Short uneven climb from town or nearby car parks; no entry fee but expect muddy ground and strong winds. Weekday mornings are quieter. Good in winter for stark silhouettes and in late summer for heather foregrounds.
