Description:Pennine Way footbridge.

The ridge on the right is Waystone Edge. Buckstones Pass is on the other side. The 'Way Stone' is a large rectangular boulder, perched on the right shoulder and visible to Westbound drivers at sunset. It would've been a rare landmark before the turnpikes were built. The pack horse routes kept to the high ground, avoiding the bogs of Moss Moor. The Oldham -Ripponden turnpike of 1795 pioneered the way for the present A672. The Pennine Way running N-S was designated a right of way in 1965.
