Highwood Brow is at 208m. There is a trig point nearby, indicating this area used to be less or not at all forested. You might need to hunt for a view around as in trees can obscure the view - but nonetheless, the view is there: of the Langdale Valey towards Fylingdales Moor. There is a bench next to the car park here, so you can rest your bike (and yourself) and enjoy this area for a few minutes before pressing on.

Highwood Brow is at 682 feet (208 m) and enjoys impressive views over Langdale Valley towards Fylingdales Moor. However, the area has become more forested over time, so you might need to hunt for a good spot for that perfect view! There's a trig point here as well as some signage indicating different cycling routes, including the Moor to Sea Cycle Trail.

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.

Highwood Brow (at 208m) is on an escarpment overlooking the Langdale valley. The trig point here suggests there used to be fewer trees up here, which now kind of block your view! - so you might need to be inventive to find a good point to look past them! A useful information board providing information about the geology of the area is provided as well.
