One of many viewpoints along the route that runs from Saltergate Car Park along Old Wife's Way, passing Newgate Brow and Crosscliff Brow on the way to Jerry Noddle. An easy and worthwhile route to follow. Great quality track and quieter than the middle of Dalby Forest, allowing access to Langdale Forest if you are planning on covering some extra distance.

Awesome views, an unmissable highlight. An interesting monument, known as an aedicula, stands at Jerry Noddle, which depicts a sculpture of a winged sheep made by sculptor Fiona Bowley. Commissioned in 2020 during the national lockdown, its 14th century armour represents protection against the Covid pandemic.

Great track that forms a loop from New Road at the viewpoint on the Tabular Hills Walk at Dargate Dikes, back around to New Road at Fox Howe. Not to be missed as incorporates the monument, bench and fabulous views at Jerry Noddle.

A spellbinding view towards the north across Langdale Forest from a track not far near Jerry Noodle. The best experience is running up onto here on the Jerry Noddle trail path from the south - the narrow green path sheltered by trees hides the view until you actually emerge onto this point where all of a sudden this fabulous view opens up.

A very beautiful stream. White Beck, to cross here. Stop to enjoy the calming sound of the current and a bit of tranquillity in the woods.

A lovely, sheltered by trees on both sides, wide track between Great Gill and Jerry Noddle, on Rigg Noddle. The surface is good enough so that even in rain, or after wet weather, it won't be muddy. Enjoy!
