Approaching the summit from the north. The highest point is very elevated on all sides. Any cairn placed here, aside from enjoying the pre-eminent high-spot in England and Wales, also benefits from a perfect natural dais, just to add to the general grandeur. If you can put the crowds, station, restaurant, etc out of mind, this remains a lovely, awe-inspiring mountain top for pilgrimage.
