Hiking

Built in around 1890 by local Jonathan Stansfield, Blacko Tower (often referred to as Stansfield Tower) is a notable landmark. Stansfield had intended the circular, rough stone tower as a means to see distant Ribblesdale, though in the end it was not high enough. The story goes that he played down his disappointment by saying: "I've never drunk nor smoked in my life, so am making this as my hobby."
