Penhill Crags and Beacon

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Penhill Crags are a joy to walk, with slightly shocking (beautiful!) views from up here of the valleys down below. There is a trig point here (526m), Penhill Beacon, and a rather curious stone structure towards the eastern end of this stretch. An absolutely stunning place to be.
