Jacob's Ladder (ruin)
The stone remains that used to support a series of iron ladders used to transport labour and materials down from the Moor Road to High Bullough during construction of the reservoir.
The lower section near the footpath has a series of stone steps but the base of the ladder platforms can be difficult to reach; the slope is steep and sometimes slippery. The original gateway at the top of the ladder is gone but a small, gated access through the dry stone wall can still be seen opposite Jepson’s Farm.
