Wainman's Pinnacle, Grade II listed folly tower in Sutton-in-Craven, North Yorkshire, England.
The stone obelisk stands tall on Earl Crag, featuring a distinctive cylindrical structure with narrow stairs leading to panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Built in 1898 as a memorial to the Napoleonic Wars, the tower required reconstruction in 1900 following substantial damage caused by a lightning strike.
Local residents refer to Wainman's Pinnacle and the neighboring Lund's Tower as the Salt and Pepper Pots, reflecting their integration into regional identity.
Visitors can access the monument through a walking path from St Thomas' church in Sutton, with dedicated parking spaces available near the tower location.
The structure contains narrow stairs without handrails, requiring visitors to maintain careful footing while ascending to reach the observation point.
