Hiking
Needs Law, at 444m, has, perhaps unusually, two cairns on it (Mag and the Bairns), and apparently there perhaps used to be even a third. Such cairns were used in the 19th century as reference points in foggy, misty conditions. You will additionally see a disused quarry here.
Gorgeous views from up here too: you can easily see Peel Fell and Deadwater Fell from here (in non-foggy conditions, that is!)
