| 3/6 A Circuit of Blackburn Hills Mellor Moor, Stanley Hill, Billinge Hill with the Wainwright Memorial Stone too, Revidge, the via the Blackburn Cemetry up to Height House and Wilpshire Moor. A lovely day out organised by Chris Seddon for us. | nickywood1 | 25/02/2024 |

| Parked at row of houses at 658283, complying with signs requesting no parking. 653283 would have been better as we had to walk E on road for 300 m. to access the paths on the woodland hill. ATB tracks took us directly to the HP then we took the wide path shown on the Explorer map to return. With Pete | pwheeler | 20/03/2023 |

| Parked in the main car park in the popular Witton Country Park. A nice circular walk up through the wooded park, then following the permissive bridleways (thankfully no mountain bikes) to the stone plinth at the summit. Sadly very limited view from the summit. 5km with 160m taking 1h 20m. | silveracorn_alan | 03/12/2022 |

| 3rd visit with lovely snowy conditions | Alan Caine | 23/01/2021 |
| 7km circular run. The summit is in the woods so views aren't great, however, the ridge to the west was a highlight with great views. You would hardly think Blackburn town centre was so close. | sturuss | 06/01/2021 |

| With J.B. From Witton Country Park car park. Wainwright Memorial then Billinge Hill. | ADT | 08/02/2018 |
| 2nd hill of 7 today on a route from Blackburn to Rishton, climbing to Revidge Hill first then along Revidge road onto Billinge end road then on attractive footpath all the way to the top passing mature beech trees and snow-covered rhododendrons. Ground at edge of bank appears just as high as the circular concrete plinth. Nice quiet feel, nobody else around. Followed various paths/tracks west then North, Nw to drop onto Billinge end road heading South towards Stanley Hill..... This hill completes Blackburn-with-Darwen u/a . | Dazingdale | 09/12/2017 |
| Several paths to the top. I imagine there would be a lovely view from the top if it wasn't hidden by the trees. Even in winter, when the trees are bare, the view is barely seeable. | Alan Moore | 17/11/2017 |
| Parked on Billinge Avenue, although there is a Witton Country Park parking area on Under Billinge Lane, which is nearer. From Under Billinge Lane, followed various paths and MTB trails to the top. With JT. | Sprog | 08/10/2017 |
| Popped up on the way to Manchester. Very quiet and leafy. | jenx | 21/06/2017 |
| With Jenx and Bryher from the West, parking for 3-4 cars in old lane that lead to CP. CP shown on maps to NE of hill now closed. Good strolling through the woods, lot of rhodi incursions, nice sandstone features. Rock outcrops on summit, view being slowly choked off by the growing trees. Good diversion en route to airport | nordicstar | 21/06/2017 |

| From lane to south | rhalstead | 27/12/2016 |
| Parked in a lay-by on Under Billinge Lane at SD 657 279 (but on returning to the car notice a sign that implied but did not specifically say that this may not have been allowed, oh well). Followed the paths located on the west of the hill to reach the summit and followed paths east to descend. Paths weren't too steep at any point but were uneven and muddy, would defo recommend good footwear for this hill. | Stormcrow | 19/09/2016 |
