This Stump Cross used to be known in early 19th century as "Cross With The Hand". It is suggested that the reason for this is that the original shaft could have been an outstretched hand indicating the direction of travel.

Great waypoint close to an intersection with lots of routeing options. Just to the north the track diverges, go left to cross Slape Wath Moor and descend into the very scenic Tripsdale , or go right to head northeast around Cockayne Head towards Bloworth Crossing (where in winter you may have to navigate an overflowing High Bloworth Ford). Alternatively, if you are heading south you can follow the easy bridleway along Bransdale Ridge, or veer to the east down the bridleway (more like a narrow sheep path, very steep and quite boggy) towards the road above Colt House Farm. Whichever way you go, this spot provides peace and views in abundance.
