Tower Lodge Located on the Trough Road beside the Marshaw Wyre river. Built as the lodge house for the uncompleted Wyresdale Tower Shooting House, and now a Grade II Listed Building. The Wyre Way long distance footpath passes up the track to the left, giving access to the fells around Tarnbrook.

Beside High Tower Plantation There seems to be very few trees left standing in the plantation - just one or two straggly specimens. The permissive path of this side of the wall is a trial. Uneven and narrow, when visible, smothered in bilberry bushes or head high bracken on much of its length.

Permissive Footpath beside High Tower Plantation On the permissive footpath between Millers House and White Moor. A difficult and uneven path, most of which cannot be followed - at this point smothered by bilberry bushes, soft vegetation that hides a myriad of obstacles. Further on, head high bracken is encountered.
