The Ramshaw Serpent

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is a very striking resemblance to a serpent.

The eye seems deliberately carved upon closer inspection.

It has a tainted history in modern times as Myra Hindley was seen …

Winking Man Rock, Ramshaw Rocks

Highlight • Natural Monument

An easy walk to the top with breathtaking views.

Look between the rocks toward the A53 and you will see the profile of the Winking Man.

Notice the deliberate cleft at the top. There is another, but less impressive, such rock further along.
