This is actually the location of the topographic cairn, which is a really good view point out over the surrounding Dales, and of the Nine Standards, which sit nearby to the north within a few hundred metres. A bit further to the south is the actual summit point of Nine Standards Rigg itself, which is marked by a trig point.

This is the actual location of the Nine Standards, or nine cairns, of Nine Standards Rigg. The purpose of the standards is uncertain, there is a theory that they form an old boundary line. Whatever their purpose, they make for a good photo opportunity.

The last remaining Medieval bridge over the River Eden, Warcop Old Bridge connects the village of Warcop to the hamlet of Bleatarn. Its three sandstone arches span 121 feet (37 m) and are held up by four ribs. If you venture to these parts in February, look out for a carpet of snowdrops on the high banks of the river.

At a height of 2,172 feet (662 m), the curious Nine Standards boast superb views over the town of Kirkby Stephen and further afield. The origin of the cairns is a mystery. According to legendary fell walker and hiker Alfred Wainwright, whose Coast-to-Coast route crosses the fell, the Nine Standards are marked on 18th century maps. Some believe they were constructed by the Romans to look like troops from a distance.

Nobody knows the sense of Nine standards ... But they are iconic! Nobody knows the meaning or benefit of the Nine standards. They are still cult!
