Honley Old Wood Cairnfield

Cairn(s)

daveyravey Jan 19, 2005

A substantial cairnfield with quite impressive embankment made of rubble about half a metre high. Most of the cairns have been robbed for stone but some have survived. There are wonderful pasturelands one side and wooded escarpment to the other. Not really worth going to see especially but you can have some nice walks around here
