Great Knape trig point — photo spot in Stainmore, Kirkby Stephen CA17 4EU, UK
Great Knape trig point
A lone OS trig pillar on windswept Stainmore Moor offering expansive, minimalist panoramas of rolling peatland, dramatic low horizons and big skies. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side light and at night for Milky Way captures. Accessible via a short walk from roadside laybys on the A66 — firm walking boots recommended; parking is informal in laybys. No entry fees; expect strong winds and changeable weather. Ideal after rain for richer colours and puddle reflections; limited facilities nearby.
