Hiking
Finsthwaite Tower stands proudly above Newby Bridge and affords spectacular views. The Grade II-listed, two-storey folly was built to commemorate the 18th Century Wars.
After many years of decay, Finsthwaite Tower has a new owner and hopes are afoot that the tower will be refurbished.

Beautiful viewpoint and old tower. Currently waiting for planning permission to open up with staircase inside for even better views.
