Highwood Brow Viewpoint

Highlight • Forest

Highwood Brow stands at an elevation of 208m (682ft) and affords views straight up the Langdale Valley toward Fylingdales Moor and Langdale Rigg.

Over time the area has become more forested, and although this creates a lovely setting for a walk, it does restrict the views somewhat. A short stroll between the trees will take you to an open viewpoint where you can enjoy the scenery in all its glory.

Rise Dikes (Ancient Boundary Ditches)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Rise Dikes, visible from the main track, and marked by the historic monument post. The dykes were linear ancient ditches, a part of a prehistoric boundary dividing areas between Troutsdale (west) and the Derwent Valley (east.) Obviously, they would've called them something else than Troutsdale and Derwent back then!
