Up and down from the campsite on a beautiful autumn evening. Too a couple of hours, but weren't in a rush.Nicky C15/10/2022
Walked up from parking area at Leeping Stocks Nature Reserve and up private drive to the paving slabs business. All quiet so easy to access patio area. The workmen seemed to be returning as I left the carpark.milimana23/06/2022
Ticked this summit while exploring in the area with a friend. Realised that I had walked right by this HP earlier in the summer whilst on bat surveys.Gerry the Ranger05/10/2021
From the NE via a circuitous route from campsite near the Butterfly Zoo. Then onto Little Doward.johnkenyon31/07/2021

From SO533163 via Little DowardTony J27/01/2018
From the SW around the top edge of a quarry. Not a great route. The summit is the display area for paving and patio furniture sales. I cannot imagine they get much passing trade.clivevilla17/01/2018
Also in need of slabs for garden but whilst nice stock seemed a long way to take 12 or so home, good research thonordicstar04/10/2017
A maze of fps of which a couple lead to the top. Very narrow lanes for the car. Best approaching in an anti-clockwise direction. Patioed summit.Campbell Singer13/08/2017

Followed signs to E&I Williams and parked near the top. Got out and pretended to take an interest in the paving slabs etc (I do actually need some slabs for our patio but none of the ones on display were suitable).Herbert Anchovy08/06/2017
From SW along Byway to Williams yard, up ramp to paved area.PeterD14/04/2017
Indistinct point under water tower, next to garden stonework display.Denise 08/01/2017
Along the delightfully named Leaping Stocks Rd. Level paved display area of E&I Williams garden furnishings next to elevated steel water tower. At end of track, no gates, no notices so not as difficult to access as might be imagined.RichardM08/01/2017
Parked at bottom of Meeks Well Lane and followed lane and overgrown footpaths to the summitRamblingpaul07/06/2016

From Leeping Stocks reserve car park, on bridal paths to HP that can be reached without trespass on the Williams.arranc26/08/2015
Would have been better to try to find the top in winter when less vegetation to impede the view.RobertP07/06/2015
