The stone arch bridge at Beaumont Clough is a picturesque, historic crossing located in the valley on the south side of the Calder Valley, between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. Its situated a few metres off the Pennine way near Callis and overlooks Horsehold Wood. The bridge is historically linked to 16th-century iron working in the area.

Coming up the eastern side of Stoodley Pike is the easier option to get to the top of the hill, especially if you come up via the footpath intersection at Dick’s Lane. At just over four hundred metres it’s not the highest top out there, but you will soon be rewarded with excellent views from the obelisk down over Todmorden.
