Ward's Stone

Ward's Stone is the highest hill in the Forest of Bowland, England.

The path from Grit Fell is difficult: crossing Cabin Flat, it weaves its way across hidden pools of stagnant water, the presence of which is betrayed by a form of red grass.

White markers supposedly point out the way, but more often result in leading the walker astray.

The second trig points faces the empty vastness of the eastern Forest of Bowland, with the summits of Wolfhole Crag, White Hill and the distant Ingleborough breaking the horizon.

A second path approaches Ward's Stone from Tarnbrook, where limited parking is available.
