On the other side of the viewpoint is Willersley Castle which was built to be Richard Arkwright's country estate, he died before it's completion in 1791 but his son went on the complete the build. It remained the Arkwright's family home until 1922. Today it is a hotel.

The Arkwright Society have declared Scarthin Rock temporary closed due to recent rain.
I declared it temporarily open and went up to the top anyway. The steps were pretty slippery and treacherous tbf, but the view from the summit was worth it.
