The 'Devil's Chair'
Carved into a crag below Hoad the Monument, it’s origin is unknown. It’s a local dare to climb up the rock face after dark and sit in the chair. There is plenty of activity around — graffiti, bolts to attach climbing ropes. It’s easy to cheat though by scrambling down to it.

Hoad Hill and monument
Viewed from the railway.
Sir John Barrow Monument (colloquially known as Hoad) is a 30 m tower at the top of the 133 m Hoad Hill, near Ulverston. It commemorates Sir John Barrow (1764-1848), who was born in Ulverston. It was built in 1850 at a cost of £1250, the cost being met mainly by public subscription.
Sir John Barrow was a founding member of the Royal Geographical Society. He travelled to China and South Africa as a diplomat and held the post of Second Secretary to the Admiralty from 1804 until 1845.

Outcrop on Hoad Hill
Outcrop on the south side of Hoad Hill, which looks like it may have been partly quarried.
View towards the Leven estuary, with the railway viaduct (SD3278) on the left and Glaxo works (SD3077) on the right.
The grazing land at the bottom of the hill looks rather soggy.
