Amazing views if you visit on a clear day. There’s a bit of a climb up here so make sure you’re fit. It’s an imposing monument right on the top of the hill and you can go inside it where there’s a spiral staircase to the viewing level. There’s no lighting inside on the staircase so bring a torch or your phone torch will suffice.

Absolutely worth the hike, from Todmorden, up to the top. Took me about an hour and a half to reach the peak, then I was amazed I could enter it and walk to a higher balcony! Some incredible views from the top and it wasn't too busy when I was there.

I moved here one year ago and everywhere I’ve been, I’ve been able to see Stoodley Pike from a distance. Finally managed to find the time to reach the top (mid-August 2021) with my family. We had a brilliant walk; the views are incredible even on a cloudy day. I’m also sure there are many other routes up to the top. The statue has some interesting history and it is an incredible feat of engineering… I look forward to visiting time and time again with friends at different points in the year. Take a picnic and a camera!

Very pretty. I took the shortest route straight up the hill it overlooks and it nearly killed me but it was worth it. Lovely views for miles in every direction.

High up. Northern. Windswept. Squally. No loo and cafe. (Just kidding. It's a hill in Yorkshire. What do you expect? It's a fabulous walk and a lovely day out. Dress proper and take supplies. You'll love it.)

Bit of a trek to get here and could imagine it to be quite boggy in places when there has been more rain. The monument has an interesting history being the second to stand in this location. Views from the accessible, via a winding stone staircase, veranda are very good and doesn't cost anything. Easy to add this to a hike whilst visiting the numerous reservoirs located around here.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience visiting Stoodley Pike. The hike up to this historic monument was both exhilarating and rewarding. The panoramic views from the top were breathtaking, and it's a perfect spot to take in the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The monument itself is a testament to the area's history and is a must-visit for anyone interested in local heritage. The trail was well-maintained, and I felt a strong sense of connection with nature throughout my visit. I highly recommend Stoodley Pike to anyone looking for an adventure and a glimpse into the past.

Went hiking was lovely walk towards this monument we went from the Gaddings Dam that is nearby and made our way towards this site absolutely stunning site and views

Nice walk/hike with good scenery. We started from the Whitehouse Pub, which is roughly a 11 mile return walk. The route towards it is good with no difficulties

Visited the pike on 26/06/2021. Parked the car on Mankinholes Road about 200 yards from the Pennine Bridleway. Walked to the pike via the main footpaths which took around an hour. The walk is predominantly uphill. Recommend taking a flask and a sandwich etc and enjoying the views from the pike before heading back. Went up to the viewing platform. Take a good torch (your phone torch is not good enough) as it’s absolutely pitch black when on the stone spiral stairs!! 🔦 We walked back to the car via the steep hill that leads to the main footpath. Take a light jacket on hot days because it’s still VERY windy at the top. Would visit again.

One of a series of towers dotted around the countryside, built in a bygone era and left for us to admire today. Great views from all around near the tower and well worth a visit.

A very enjoyable walk up to this monument and rewarded with quite literally breath taking views (it was very windy at the time of my visit).

A big old monument towering over the Pennines 402m can be see from miles away. You can go up some stairs to a viewing area that is open to the public offering great views over the Pennines and Tedmonton. Lots of walking routes up that families and walkers do. Not to far if you have decent level of fitness. A great day out in beautiful English countryside.

Amazing walk.. I would ensure that you make this walk on a good day, as the last time we tried it was an extremely wet day and made walking difficult. The tower is brilliant and well worth the journey. Take a torch if going inside the Tower ;)

A tough ride up, but well worth the effort..👍 there's a Mini, Mini Sculpture of Stoodley Pike at the entrance to the platform of Todmorden Train Station and another Mini Sculpture opposite the Shell Petrol Station on the road towards Hebdon Bridge..

Great monument overlooking Hebden Bridge with amazing views. We did a 6 mile walk with Stoodley Pike just over half way. Definitely need proper walking shoes as some of the moor land is very marshy. And a torch to climb the tower, as it's pitch black on the stairwell, even in the day time.

beautiful part of england

Great views, fantastic monument. Internal stairs allow you to climb up to a balcony level - bring a torch and keep an eye on any overly-adventurous kids. Well worth a visit. Look out for some great, old carved graffiti all round it. Wrap up warm too, it's almost always windy at Stoodley Pike!

Take your bloody rubbish home with you!

What's not to like x

Beautiful! Well worth the hike through the mud!

Beautiful views, well worth the walk.

Beautiful piece of Nature, The views from the top are breath taking & is not to be missed. Does get pretty busy with other walkers,.

Great little adventure

Beautiful views. Great history. I love the Pennine Way but all the rubbish left inside of Stoodley Pike is revolting. No respect for anything or anyone. That’s why only 4 stars.

Impressive monument with good views all round. Good that you can go inside for free too. Quite a few good paths leading up but can get boggy in places.

Second time doing stoodley pike. Nice scenery once you get up to the top and look around the valleys and hills. Little bit challenging hiking up worth it once you get up there.

Great views and walk take a torch

Stunning views from one of Yorkshire's most scenic spots.

Brilliant walk, not too hard, just had to watch out for muddy spots!

Fantastic views and walks in this area

It's a 4oo meter climb but it's well worth it, you feel you can 🥫 touch the sky. Another one 1⃣ ticked 📴.

Fantastic views; worth the hike up the hill.

Always such a lovely walk even when the weather isn't great. If you've never been definitely worth the walk up and then finish with a drink in one of the local pubs.

Great walk. We started from Withens Clough Reservoir, from just outside the carpark and up a slope. It's a great path up to the top. Then you can climb up Stoodley Pike up the pitch black steps. It's a great view from the top. If you follow the Yorkshire Water trail back to the reservoir though it's not a great path on the the way back down, plus it's quite easy to miss the path on the right. Very muddy in places and I ended managed to slip ending up with my knees and hand in a boggy puddle! My partner ended up with one muddy trainer and one clean! You definitely need decent walking boots if following this route. I'd definitely recommend this walk though if you enjoy walking and would still give it 5 stars!

Lovely place even in thick fog

A evening visit to Studley by headtorch via London Road and back via Erringden Moor easy to miss the footpath in the dark misty evening

Great place to walk to.

Great views

Fogy , good MTB climb up to it

Absolutely superb place to walk to, spectacular views and really beautiful, it's god's county what do you expect, highly recommend.

Great for mountain biking

Great walk, with good views. The first floor of the spire can be climbed.

You get a great view from here

Kids loved it as they got to climb and lovely walks with fab views

It's on my doorstep and you can see spectacular views, on a clear day.

In January with a strong east wind - col

Great views from the monument.

This is a great walk, many different routes to suit all levels of fitness (walking and riding). The route from the train station is a steady climb up on a farm road. All routes are very well sign posted. You can go up the tower to see the stunning views. Dogs must be kept on a leads as livestock grazing around all surrounding areas.

Great walk really fun with the kids! Great views of the calder valley. Great access for all ages.

Looks a mess covered in all kinds of graffiti, put there mostly from out of town folk who all seem to love peace, black lives, and manchester city for some reason. Awful. Makes it look disgusting. Well done fellow humans for ruining this.

Nice walk, bit windy

Lovely walk up to the pike with great views of the surrounding countryside

A great place to walk to but the views are spectacular.

A great place to visit

Carried my 9 month old up this. Good hike up from Hebden Bridge

Great views 👌

Cracking view and a good walk

Windy

Great Walk, Run and Bike ride; done them all. Breath taking views from the top and a great workout. Average fitness levels are a must to tackle the hills and terrain.

This place is beautiful in any weather. A really nice walk to get there and you can walk to the top floor.

Excellent trails. Thoroughly recommend to all.

Beautiful views of Todmorden and surrounding moorlands, lovely walk or ride up to the monument whichever route you take.

greatplace for a gentle stroll

Great views from here

Of your lucky enough to go there when the weather is nice there's a great view

Fantastic walk incorporating the Pennine way.Fantastic scenery and challenging in bad weather....fab
