Fantastic walk to the top of Hoad Hill brings you to the Sir John Barrow Monument, that's right it is a monument not a lighthouse. l Lovingly know locally as The Pepperpot - if you are lucky the monument is open to visitors to climb to enjoy the fantastic views....take heed if you are not a fan of heights this might not be for you. Outside the 360 views over to Barrow, Lancashire and beyond are simply breathtaking. Two ways to thw top, one shorter but steeper or the longer easier way round. All take in some fantastic sights
