Hiking

Stoodley Pike Monument is a stone obelisk monument erected in 1856 to mark the end of the Crimean War. It sits atop a 1,300-foot (396 m) hill and commands attention for miles around. It's a pleasant walk up Stoodley Pike and you are treated to breathtaking views from the summit ridge over Todmorden, Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley.
