Prominent hill-top monument with wide views.
Stoodley Pike is a 1,300-foot (400 m) hill in the south Pennines in West Yorkshire in northern England. It is noted for the 121-foot (37 m) Stoodley Pike Monument at its summit, which dominates the skyline above the market town of Todmorden and the moors of the upper Calder Valley. The monument is near the villages of Lumbutts and Mankinholes, West Yorkshire, and was designed in 1854 by local architect John Green, and completed in 1856 at the end of the Crimean War.

Beautiful wooded valley, covered with bluebells in spring, that has walks ranging from riverside to pine covered hills and from easy tracks to half-day adventures cumulating in spectacular views with 19th-century Gibson Mill serving refreshments at its heart.
