| Parked on brow of hill. This is a lovely hill and worthy of a much longer walk than the 5 minutes each way from here. | clivevilla | 15/05/2018 |
| Large metal topograph embedded in reddish gritstone top. Superb views in much improved weather with exceptionally clear light turning green fields almost luminous. | Denise | 04/11/2017 |
| Weather kind today for the Derbyshire Bagger Rambles after the early morning rain had passed. Eccles Pike an easy but very enjoyable HuMP. | Alex C | 04/11/2017 |
| Unexpectedly excellent little hill and fine view point. An unusual cast iron ring toposcope on gritstone summit. High point either on the E or W side of the ring. I thought the rock on the W side the higher but the majority seem to favour the E side. Excellent clear views, bright sunshine, getting colder. | RichardM | 04/11/2017 |
| Less than 10 minutes round walk from car park at brow of hill but allow longer for the fine view. | ijpowell | 29/09/2017 |

| On passing on way to Hayfield from Shropshire to visit friend and climb Kinder. Looked like a nice easy bag from the rose which it was, great views and nice introduction to the Peak District of which this was my first summit. Interesting brass toposcope which strangely didn't show Kinder which must have been visible from here | tumpawumpa | 01/06/2017 |
