Many hiking trails criss-cross Stoodley Pike’s flat summit and you can explore far and wide across to Langfield Common and further south until your stomach calls you to a nearby eatery. The hill is easy to access from any of the surrounding towns and villages with paths ranging from gentle to steep.
Being pulled along by the Pike
Stoodley Pike monument can be seen from miles around and, as you make your way along the trail, the sight of it draws you along past fields and over stiles. The monument itself stands at 121 feet (37 m) on top of the hill which tops out at around 1,300 feet (400 m).
Should you walk from historic Hebden Bridge, you’ll pass the once-cutting edge farm of Erringden with its perfectly organised field system. Once at the summit, you can get an even more magnificent view by heading up the stairs within the monument and standing on the viewing platform at the top. Don’t forget your torch as the stairs are unlit and pitch black.
You can hike Stoodley Pike at any time of year although due care should be taken in difficult weather conditions. The landscape sees snow sometimes in winter, lighting up the hills and emphasising the monument’s presence.
All the facilities you could need are available in nearby Hebden Bridge and Todmorden with plenty more villages and towns in the surroundings too.
