    Hiking

    A very well preserved small motte and bailey in Sedbergh. The motte is oval and about 30 feet tall, and surrounded by a 15 feet wide ditch. Apparently, no one really knows how old it is.

    To the north from here, although it could be said about just about anywhere in Sedbergh, there are tremendous views of Brant Fell, rising incredibly fast up from the valley.
