Serene spot with several benches where you can have a quick pit stop or picnic. Just north of the chapel, where you rejoin the public footpath, there are sweeping views of the countryside to the west.

Easy parking (ice cream van in summer!) at Sheep Wash, great path through the coniferous wood running along the southern edge of the reservoir, awesome views, cool breeze across the water, option to follow numerous tracks east into the woods around Cote Garth and Golden Square. Lots of familys, dog walkers and hikers - something for everyone here.

Great views from the top of the moor and several footpaths and bridleways to route from, including through Arncliffe Wood. There is a path that drops directly down from Beacon Hill to the car parks at Cod Beck reservoir, bit soggy in places by easily navigable.

Fairly unobtrusive stone post, only a few yards off the road. This is the western Lyke Wake Stone, which is an acceptable end/start point for the Lyke Wake Walk, although not the original one, which is the trig point on Scarth Wood Moor.
