Top of one of the classic climbs in the north - site of much missed Hartside Top Cafe (burnt 2018), Hartside Pass. If you are heading west it's over 5 miles of free wheeling!

The tall gentleman is James Toller. James Toller was born in Eynesbury, St Neots in 1798. He is said to have grown to over 8 feet tall.
According to common belief, he could walk along the streets of St Neots and Eynesbury and chat with people through their bedroom windows or pass by the public houses along the high street and reach up and swing the signboards.
With such a unique and unusual look, it wasn't long before news of the Cambridgeshire giant had spread across the country and those in London - even the royals - became very intrigued. In 1815, when James was 17-years-old, he was exhibited in London and was even presented to the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia.

One of the stalwarts and promoters of cycling as a recreation for the workers of Britain.
The last functioning Clarion House - active since 1912, which is even older than the Moggy.

In Cowbridge today. As soon as I saw the challenge, this place was my first thought.
