The inscription on the stone in the cairn reads:
This Reserve
Commemorates
CANON G.A.K. HERVEY
1893-1967
Founder of the
Lake District Naturalists' Trust

Though the site area is now under a Special Scientific Interest tag as a Nature Reserve.

Hiking

Whitbarrow is a small fell in the Lake District which has wonderful views. It's a superb ridge of limestone with a long, wide crest. We ascended from Mill Side and made a lovely 10km hiking route out of it. The highest point is actually the rib of rock 15m SW of the large cairn
