The summit of Carlton Moor features a prominent trig point, offering a perfect spot for a photo-op and a well-deserved rest. There's also a sizable cairn and panoramic views that could make a postcard jealous.
Carlton Moor is primarily composed of Millstone Grit, which forms the characteristic rugged terrain of this area. This sedimentary rock from the Carboniferous period offers both a picturesque landscape and a reminder of the region's geological history.
From the summit, you can see the rolling hills of the South Pennines, and on a clear day, the distant peaks of the Yorkshire Dales pop into view like old friends waving hello.
The name 'Carlton' is derived from Old Norse meaning 'farmstead or settlement'. The term 'moor' indicates the expansive moorland landscape that surrounds it.
Historically, Carlton Moor has been used as grazing land for sheep, reflecting the region's agricultural roots. The area is also rich with archaeological sites, indicating human habitation for thousands of years.
A scenic and moderately challenging route that offers beautiful views as you ascend.
Parking is available at the roadside near the village of Lothersdale. Please consider parking sensibly to avoid inconveniencing the locals.
The nearest bus stop is in the village of Lothersdale, accessible from Keighley. Check local timetables as services can be sporadic.
