Parked at end of track to NNE. Summit is in an area of gorse and heather but that is not a barrier.clivevilla18/10/2021

Trackside parking (SX 7640 7929). Path leads up to (unimpressive) summit rocks.jonglew31/03/2019
From cp on Haytor Moor.Moorponder27/06/2018
From car park to SE. Don't take mapped path but the more northerly one (half-right from CP). Begins narrow thru' gorse but soon joins wide, grassy, well-maintained path along boundary line to summitcarole engel27/06/2018
From Haytor Rocks. Crossed the moor to the summit via Haytor Quarries. Returned via lane to the south-east. Solo.Man of Kernow114/04/2018
Quick walk enroute Home from Devonnell158315/06/2017
Last hill of the day and very dark under superb star filled skies. Wandered (and wondered) around the levelish summit of grass, gorse and heather but found nothing that leapt out as a high point.RichardM20/01/2017
By the time we reached here, the sky was as black as the name, albeit with various stars appearing. We wandered around all likely places on this flat moorland with gorse thickets, bracken and icy pools. A superb day's walk.Denise 20/01/2017
Enjoyable circular walk(and minor scrambles) from Hound Tor car park-Hayne Down-Black Hill-Hound Tor.With Bridget and Oscar.catman23/05/2016

8/14 of long but satisfying hill bagging day (Hay Tor/Rippen Tor/Top Tor/Chinkwell Tor/Hound Tor/Heatree Down/Easdon Tor/Black Hill/Birch Tor/Challacombe Down/Hamel Down/Hookney Tor/Cornden TorFergalh13/06/2015
Approach from the south. Although you can park on the minor road to the east the route is mostly trackless and through gorse and bracken.moorsman22/08/2014
Climbed from the North East and the minor road. It was a cool cloudy early morning. The exact summit was hard to determine I visited possible high points my GPS gave the summit as the small rocky outcrop at SX7605178657.isabelle28/04/2014
very hot day.Adrian13/07/2013
From Sharpitor across valley to NE- no list- a jungle ridge traverse (first ascent/ crossing?) which kept on going to highest blocks split by a wide chimney - climbed to summit.Long plod homeward via Water for water top up and uphill to Black Hill 400m top and via Hay Tor quarries (used for London Bridge –now in America) Ice cream van long gone. We camped in same spot close to where War Horse had been filmed that day.Chris Pearson06/08/2010
OK summit amidst gorse, nice view SW to Haytor. path thru gorse from car pk to ESE RHW05/09/2004
Following (more or less) Wild Walks chapter (40)linked up Hay Tor quarries, Hound Tor, Grimspound, over Hameldown to Widdecombe and Rippon Tor (qv) on the way back. I'll leave you to read the Diadem book (Wilson & Gilbert) for inspiration and context-- wonderful book, engrossing walk.pwheeler10/09/1993
