We visited on a windy wet Sunday morning. We got parked ok. The path to the is good and only takes a few minutes from the layby. The from the top of the are stunning. Well worth a visit Beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Really nice and views. You can actually up to the top of the tower! Lovely and amazing place! Easy to the from Wainman's Pinnacle, from the base of the tower, even better from the top of the after going up the inside Lund’s is one of Keighley’s best-kept secrets. Perched on Earl Crag, this small Victorian stone looks like something straight out of a fairytale. It offers breathtaking panoramic over the Aire Valley and even across into the Yorkshire Dales and Lancashire on a clear day. The up is peaceful and beginner-friendly, perfect for a short afternoon adventure. Whether you’re coming from Sutton-in-Craven or Glusburn, the trails are manageable and well-marked. It’s a spot to take in the natural beauty without needing to commit to a full-day hike. Once you get to the tower, you’ll find a narrow with around 39 steps leading to a viewing platform at the top. Just a heads up — it’s dark inside and there’s no handrail, so a torch or phone light is a smart idea. Watch your head near the top! The are seriously worth the climb. You get a sweeping look over the surrounding countryside, and if the weather plays nice, it feels like you’re on top of the world. The pairs perfectly with a visit to nearby Wainman’s Pinnacle, often referred to together as the “Salt and Pepper Pots” by locals. Doing both in one trip makes for a lovely circular and some photo ops. There’s no official car park, but you can usually find roadside parking near the walking paths. Just wear decent footwear, especially if it’s been raining — the area can get muddy. All in all, Lund’s is a gem. It’s small, scenic, full of local history, and ideal for anyone looking for a relaxing with a rewarding at the top. One of those places that makes you appreciate just how beautiful Yorkshire really is. Nice little folly that you can enter and climb, views, mind your head on the way down Beautiful Yorkshire morning, walk👍, view😮, environment 👌 There is no parking for this. I was there at 6am so quickly pulled in a passing lay-by. The are amazing. The itself is pitch black inside and full of animal fur and twigs. You'll need a torch. It's worth it. It’s been on my bucket list for some time. No time like the present to start exploring these places. Nice and quiet, amazing and couldn’t have picked a better day I parked in a lay-by on the road, where you can up the hill or continue on the road to reach Lund’s Tower. Just be careful as the two first sections I walked in didn’t have any sheep but when you through the gate at the top there are sheep in the top field. A notice is on the gate to let you know. Excellent and the are incredible. What a find, cracking walk, far reaching from the top of tower, rest of family loved it too. Highly recommend. Lund’s is perched up on Earl’s Crag situated south west of the North Yorkshire village of Sutton in Craven. The turreted stone is 11 metres tall and was built in 1887 with a stone inside built by the family of that name. Industrialist James Lund (1829-1903) bought Malsis Hall, across the valley from Earl Crag, in around 1860 and soon after replaced the house there with a vast mansion in the very latest Italianate style. The was built as a monument and as an eye-catcher from the mansion grounds. The is open all year round and you can the 39 steps to the top but take care. It is very dark inside after the brilliance of the daylight and there is no handrail. 📷 ©️Chris Brookes Photography Fantastic view. Lovely place for a picnic, benches provided Excellent across the area, easy with torch in phone. Awesome views, easy from nearby car park. Brilliant for many a mile all around. Fantastic around the little country lanes and very quiet too. It's a surprise that you can the winding to enjoy which are better still from the top! including from the top of the tower. Very easy to fall off the top of the so stay low if you want to live Really lovely place with stunning views... I would highly recommend to visit, if you are in the area.. You can also the tower, which is great! Very narrow and dark, so make sure you have a torch or phone with you. No tickets required, just an unused that can be climbed on the inside where there is a staircase, not sure how safe it is as I did not go up it ,lovely though and lots of people walking up there Nice of Yorkshire I stumbled upon this spot as I was scanning Google maps for fun things to do in the area. It is a highlight of our trip! We loved the easy “hike” up to the and the to the top. We agree with what others have said — pull out the flashlight on your cell for the and watch your step — especially at the top so you don’t fall through the hole for the stairs! It was a fabulous of the countryside. We recommend it fully! Fabulous views, and you can up to the top of the tower. Short up from the road or combine with Wainmans Pinnacle walk.
