Parked at Street Gate, after completing Great Close Hill, easy walk back to this one , excellent views across Malham | matty1971b | 08/10/2023 |
Easy access from either east or west. I've been past this hill several times before but never bothered to go to the top. | Alan Moore | 03/10/2023 |

My other half parked on the verge near the cattle grid whilst I ran up and down this in 5 minutes in pouring rain. | Jake994 | 31/12/2022 |
A circular walk from Street Gate up the bridleway towards Arncliff Cote, then onto Clapham High Mark, across to the Parson's Pulpit, then west to the new summit for me at Height, and down to the Arncliff bridleway, then back by Middle House Farm, over Great Close Hill to Street Gate. Then a quick nip up Abbot Hills. 12.7km with 570m ascent taking 3h 40m. | silverwolf_alan | 25/12/2022 |

Easy verge parking to E. A quick up & down; round trip of less than 400m. (S) | gerrybowes | 07/12/2020 |
5/5 From Malham Tarn, Great Close Hill, down to Middle Farm, round South of walls to get Clapham High Mark, Parson's Pulpit and Proctor High Mark, then down to Mastiles Lane and back to pick up Abbot Hills. A nice walk 5 hours total. Only one small easy wall, just directly West of the summit of Proctor High Mark. Key to that one was to walk up to the two stones balanced on each other, after Parson's Pulpit, and curve round the natural valley to find this wall. | nickywood1 | 17/10/2020 |
Short walk from road. Grassed over limestone pavement. Good views. | RichardM | 25/06/2020 |
short walk from road; ample parking; lovely area. | Denise | 15/06/2020 |
Round of Clapham High Mark, Parsons Pulpit, Proctor High Mark, Great Close Hill and Abbot Hills from Street Gate. 9 miles, 3 hours 26m. A lot of the route was pathless but it is still fairly easy going. | clivevilla | 08/06/2020 |
Roadside parking on Malham Moor Road (roughly SD 955 652). First visited Malham Moor, before setting out in a big arc to the north to bag Proctor High Mark, Clapham High Mark and Parson's Pulpit. A few awkward wall crossings where no convenient stile or gate. Joined Monk's Road from Arncliff and followed it to Middle House Farm. Then popped up the super little Great Close Hill and later Abbot's Hill, before returning along Mastiles Lane. 20km with 670m ascent in 6 hours. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 16/05/2020 |

Beautiful day. Onward to Great Close Hill.... | Dazingdale | 25/03/2018 |
Did as part of the Malham Cove - Malham tarn circuit with church group from Malham youth hostel, bitterly cold and very windy. Agree, obvious summit a grassy bump on the right of many bumps coming from the north from Malham Tarn. | pdantic | 15/02/2018 |
12:15 - 4 degrees at Gordale Bridge, sunny, cold westerlies, with Simba. Abandoned plan to climb the scar as far too much water. On to Great Close Scar. | Wycombe Wanderer | 25/11/2017 |

2nd visit during a circular from the tarn outflow car park with L and Martha the spaniel down PW to foot of stunning Malham Cove where we carefully crossed the climbers catwalk ledge (dog as well) and enjoyed the sheltered sun trap below a host of rediculously steep and impossible looking bolted climbs, one of which called Rainman climbed by Steve McClure this year holds the current title of the UKs hardest sports climb at a grade of 9b. Roman soldiers also had a hard time here on nearby Mastiles Lane close to this hill by camping out (after a day's march) 8 to a leather tent surrounded by defensive earth bank and pickets they built to keep the Brigantes at bay. Perhaps they had a lookout at night on top of this nearby hill? | Chris Pearson | 29/10/2017 |
