The last wild wolf in the British Isles was reputedly killed in Scotland in 1753. So Wolfhole Crag, one of the summits of shattered millstone grit in the Forest of Bowland, is likely to have carried that name for several hundred years.

“We have doomed the Wolf not for what it is, but for what we have deliberately and mistakenly perceived it to be... the mythologized epitome of a savage, ruthless killer... which is, in reality no more than a reflexed image of ourself."
Farley Mowat (1921- ), Canadian conservationist and author
