View from Crank Road

Highlight • Climb

This is a cracking climb if you head from Windle you will hit Crank Road after Red Cat lane. It's Is a good 14% after the golf course

640 m

It’s fascinating to know and learn that this place once was use as a summer hut a very long time ago.
On a clear day you can appreciate the horizon and you can manage to see a lot of places from all four sides of the tower.
I highly recommended!

The Holts Arms (The Foot)

Highlight • Pub

The Holts Arms aka The Foot, dates back to around 1721. It has recently been refurbished and now feels spacious and bright, while remaining cosy and welcoming as it always has been. With events going on all the time, including a favourite, the Pub Quiz on a Thursday night, the Holts is never quiet. Plus, we're a dog friendly pub! They have a massive area at the rear of the property with picnic tables and football goals for kids to play.
