Castle Campbell, Dollar Glen, Alloa. added to Castles and Fortifications in Scotland by Drumsagard on 12/10/2020

Castle Campbell and Dollar Glen is owned by the National Trust for Scotland, but you can TOAL out with their area at the public footpath which leaves Castle Road north-east of the castle and heads up Saddle Hill (where I've placed the pin). You can also take off from the open hillside to north and to the west of the glen (be aware your TOAL location may be above the height of the castle. There is free parking on Castle Road near the castle and a larger car park at the bottom of the Glen.

Rylstone Cross, Rylstone, North Yorkshire, Craven (By markas)

Originally a wooden cross, erected to celebrate 50 years of Queen Victoria’s reign, it has been repaired and replaced on a couple of occasions, the most recent was in 1995, by all accounts there is a time capsule within the structure containing all the local newspapers from the week it was erected.

You can also get some great views of the dales from up here.

This is only a 15 minute cycle ride for me, if you are driving, you can park on street for free adjacent to Rylstone duck pond, from there it would be a 30 to 45 minute walk along the bridleway.
