Geocache Description:

Stunning views over the Pennine hills

Lund's Tower is one of the "Salt and Pepper pots" that dominate the skyline above Cowling.

Lund Tower is believed to have been built by James Lund of Malsis Hall but the reason is unclear. One theory is that it was built for his daughter, another posits Queen Victoria's jubilee. A spiral staircase gives access to the top of the tower and a spectacular 360° view.

The easiest approach is probably from the parking area indicated, heading towards Wainman's Pinnacle and then along the well-marked path to the tower. This cache can also be incorporated into the bracing circular walk from Cowling that is described in The Walking Englishman

This is a very popular place for picnicking families but there are some very steep drops in this area. It was a beautiful sunny day when we placed the cache but it will probably be raining when you go! Make sure you assess the risks for yourself before proceeding.
