Wainman's Pinnacle, Cowling, North Yorkshire
From the moment I step in to the County of Yorkshire I'm stunned by the beauty of it all. Its huge monolithic stone debris strewn across the landscape after the last ace age, a stark reminder of how nature carved its way through this place and how its inhabitants adapted to the wild terrain.
Follies, I guess, are the wealthy man's graffiti! An impulsive desire to leave their mark on the land for future generations to remember them by. There are several folklore explanations for the erection of Wainman's Pinnacle but I think the only reliable fact for this edifice is its name, after the benefactor who paid for it.
