On Cracoe Fell (507m), there is a very impressive obelisk commemorating the men from the Cracoe parish who, as it is written on it, "gave their lives in the two world wars". The extensive and far-reaching views of the Dales from here lend even more meaning somehow to a sacred monument such as this. During sunrise and sunset, this is a magical place to be.
