    Hiking

    This large stone monument on the summit is dedicated to John Wedgwood (1760–1839), a former local employer and coal mine owner.

    (NOT Josiah Wedgwood)

    Wedgwood's monument was initially an obelisk …
    A fantastic viewpoint for this trig. 360 degree views!

    Sadly the local council saw fit to try and close off the trig with barbed wire.

    There is no reason at all for such a precaution.

    However, the nearby Wedgwood Memorial is perfectly accessible.
