The former Stainmore Railway, now a surfaced multi-user path, has some lovely walking along its length. The Northern Viaducts Round follows just over a mile of the former Stainmore Railway, which once linked the coalfields of South Durham with the iron and steel industries of the Furness district of Lancashire and West Cumberland.

This is actually the location of the topographic cairn, which is a really good view point out over the surrounding Dales, and of the Nine Standards, which sit nearby to the north within a few hundred metres. A bit further to the south is the actual summit point of Nine Standards Rigg itself, which is marked by a trig point.

This is the summit of Nine Standards Rigg, which is at 662 metres and marked by a stone trig point. The views further from the viewing cairn and the 'Nine Standards' cairns themselves are more favourable than from this point.

This is the actual location of the Nine Standards, or nine cairns, of Nine Standards Rigg. The purpose of the standards is uncertain, there is a theory that they form an old boundary line. Whatever their purpose, they make for a good photo opportunity.
