Stoodley Pike pub walk in Calderdale, West Yorkshire
Stoodley Pike has stood sentry over Calderdale since its erection just over 200 years ago to commemorate the surrender of Paris to the Allies prior to the Battle of Waterloo. The monument collapsed in 1854 due to an earlier lightning strike that had cracked the walls but was reconstructed two years later. Its stone has been blackened over the years like many buildings in the South Pennines and the balcony - which you can ascend to - echoes Victorian town hall architecture.
Use your map to divert to the west of the Dam to Basin Stone, a bulbous, weathered outcrop of millstone grit which once provided a clandestine pulpit for itinerant Wesleyan preachers and speakers at meetings of Chartists and other socialist groups.From the car park turn left and follow Tarmac lane to Withens Clough reservoir. Pass The Pastures farmhouse. As the lane bears sharp left turn right through handgate following footpath signed to Stoodley Pike.
