There are views for miles from the summit of Crookrise. The trig point itself sits above gritstone boulders that seem to fall away down the hillside, giving an impressive sense of scale. This is open access land, so although there isn't a footpath marked on the OS map, there is a good track on the ground all the way from Rylstone cross to Embsay reservoir

Running

There is a good moorland path that leads from Rylstone Cross right through to Embsay reservoir which makes for great fell running - it's rocky in parts, muddy in others and always up or down. The highlight and a great goal for a run is the trig point set in huge boulders on the summit of Crookrise
