Smethurst Lane in Bolton
Smethurst Lane came at the last half mile on the old route of the Bolton Marathon back in the 1980s. After toiling up the 2 mile long incline of Plodder Lane, runners were faced with the exhausting, daunting, and much steeper (if shorter) incline on Smethurst Lane. The relief on reaching the crest of the hill, with the finish line in sight below, was massive.

Trig point on Top o' Cow
The constructions behind are water towers. The trig pillar is not easy to see as it is on the other side of a hedge from the footpath.
