Giggleswick golf course
It's hard to tell from the map if the right of way enters the golf course or stays outside their boundary wall. We had differing versions from golfers and residents of the house overlooking the course (whose garden MAY be traversed by the public footpath although there are no signs of entry/exit stiles).

Giggleswick School
Founded in 1512, Giggleswick School received its Royal Charter in 1553. In this century it has expanded to become one of the leading independent boarding and day schools in the North of England with a national and international reputation.

The footpath to Tarn Brow
No stile (on this wall or the one in the middle distance) and no waymarks. This was symptomatic of several public footpaths we walked (or tried to even) during our short ramble around Giggleswick. We don't think walkers are welcome here - NYCC have been notified.

Some of us aren't looking at the stars
Interior view of the disused observatory above Giggleswick school showing the pedestal that must have held the telescope and the circular rail that the dome rotated upon. Judging by the amount of cans and bottles lying around some of the local "yoof" must be seeing a few stars.

Disused observatory, Giggleswick
I thought this looked like an observatory, with the vertical slit in the roof for the telescope to look through. Presumably the roof can be rotated. Sure enough, it is captioned 'Observatory' on the large-scale OS map. There was a solar eclipse at Giggleswick in 1927, but it seems that it was observed from the playing fields rather than from this observatory.
