Used path, cattle there but stayed away. On my way to Blyth to see Hereford.fasgadh17/08/2019
Couldn't use the footpath due to frisky cattle so used the garden centre car park. Drive in and at the opposite end is a gravelled overflow parking area. Separated by three stones is a grassed dog walking area. Cross this and there is a track which leads to within 20m of the summit. A gate gives access.moorsman30/07/2019
Used the vast Heighley Gate garden centre car park, skirted buildings to S across pasture passing large man-made mound. Just beyond in field is rounded grassy summit above shallow quarry with gorse.Aye Jimmy24/04/2016
