Sighting Tower near Botton Crag
There are three towers on White Hill, this being the most southerly and the largest. They were used in the construction of the Haweswater Aqueduct that takes water from the Lake District to Manchester. The tunnel is deep underground. Otherwise this is a little visited and lonely spot.

Sighting Tower on White Hill
This is one of three sighting towers on White Hill, although it is rather stunted in height. It was used in the survey for the Haweswater Aqueduct, which carries water from the Lake District to Heaton Park in Manchester. The tunnel is deep below this lonely moorland.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

2814 White Hill
Third visit to this Marilyn and trig. I expected the hill to be a lot drier than it was after our dry summer but yesterday's rain left the path of sorts beside the fence very wet. Walsh Fell running shoes were great in this sort of going thought.

Salter Fell Road (Hornby Road), Hard Hill Top, Forest of Bowland, Lancashire, UK
The www.flickr.com/photos/ministry/3994529383/ sign marks the junction of Hornby Road (following a Roman road at this point) with the (barely discernable) footpath from Whitendale. Just beyond the bend, the track reaches its highest point, at 416 m on the Whitendale/Croasdale watershed. Baxton Fell is in the background, reaching 469 m asl. The slope to the left rises to White Hill, one of Bowland's highest at 544 m. Better bighugelabs.com/flickr/onblack.php?id=5977724928&size=large" rel="nofollow On Black ?
