Mow Cop is a fascinating area to illustrate the 'making of the landscape' from the prominent folly built by local landowners, the Waddingtons of Rode Hall to the settlements and works of miners, quarrymen and artisan engineers.
Who needs Time Team when there's this level of enthusiasm and professionalism from ordinary folk.
