Rylstone Cross has an interesting history! Before there was any cross here, there were a large man-shape rock here, which was known as "The Stone Man". In 1783, a wooden cross was put up to celebrate the Peace of Paris in the same year. This refers to a number of treaties that ended the American War of Independence. Eventually, the current cross was erected in 1995.

There are fabulous views from here, including to the village of Rylstone. A great place to admire the world from.

This simply crafted, yet massive stone cross makes a powerful and imposing impression, and can be seen from afar thanks to its exposed location. You could almost think that it naturally belongs in this environment and is growing out of the rocks on which it stands.
