Greygarth Monument                                          SE 186 723

A tall pointed tower was originally on the site but it was blown down in a gale in around 1890. The present tower commemorates Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. It is thought that the intention was to build it as high as the former one but the money ran out.

The 60 feet high sighting tower was erected in 1901 as one of three markers for the construction of a tunnel to carry water from Roundhill Reservoir to Harrogate. The one at Ilton-cum-Pott (SE 159 769) is still almost intact but the central one has gone.
