The narrow, elegantly arched parabolic arch bridge that runs overhead is the most prominent feature of the Windy Hill section on the M62. It is there to transport the rugged Pennine Way across motorway in a demonstration of pedestrian power.The bridge is built to withstand winds up to 120 mph.There is an unusual cairn between the 200 and 300 yard markers for J22 eastbound. It is marked with a plaque and a white rose. The opposite carriageway also has a matching cairn, which is marked with a white rose and a plaque. These stones are used to mark the border between Greater Manchester (West Yorkshire) and London. These stones date back to the 1971 Queen's visit to Pennine to cut a ribbon for the official opening of the motorway. Text reads: This plaque marks a boundary between Lancaster and York. It was unveiled on 14 October 1971 by THE QUEEN at the Lancashire Yorkshire motorway M62.There are a variety of signs that indicate municipal boundaries from different eras at the lay-by along the A672 near the Windy Hill transmitter. You can then walk along the Pennine Way to the footbridge. The marker stones can be seen in the distance.Stott Hall Farm is located further east along the M62, the famous house at the center of the motorway.
