Moorsman@s directions spot on again. | clivevilla | 17/05/2023 |
By far the easiest access is from the south. Wide verge for parking on just south of the road junction. Walk east along the minor road for 200m or so and gain access into the field via a tubular metal fieldgate. You can make a hidden ascent by turning immdiately left, paralleling the road and then alongside the upward heading wall. From the end of the wall an intermittent line of bushes keep you hidden and lead directly to the summit point. | moorsman | 08/05/2023 |
Seemed like a mad march thing to do. 2 mins ascent time. | jef | 01/03/2023 |
Bus Kendal to Sedbergh dropped me end of road and walked out to Kirkby Lonsdale over 4 tops | trimarc2 | 02/11/2022 |
Thanks to the access advice from Nicky -perfect and simple. Lovely drive alongside the Lune then narrow hedged lanes with sparse passing places -worth remembering what spaces you pass in case of a meeting. Slight detour from Sedbergh via here and New Hutton back to Kendal. Great quiet cycling lanes. I can't find the name reason -but it lies alongside the Old Scotch Road so maybe a marker on that. But 3 miles from where? Oddly there is a music band named Three Mile Hill -why?. Three Mile Island is the site of US near nuclear power station meltdown in the late 70's | Chris Pearson | 25/03/2022 |
No need to climb any walls or park in that valuable passing place folks! Just take road heading east just south of the Hill at junction besdie the house which has new coppice behind it. About 200 yards down this lane (driving straight towards Barbon Fells here) you can access a metal gate which opens easily, and walk to the summit in five minutes without causing any damage to yourself or any walls. | nickywood1 | 06/04/2019 |
From layby to N involved a wall climb. Best from E end layby adjacent large tree. There is an old metal gate reared up on far side of wall which helps immensely | carole engel | 01/01/2019 |
Verge parking due N. Hopped the stone wall and short trot across a sheep pasture to the top. | jonglew | 28/11/2018 |

Just had time to fit this in - good view of the snowfields of the Dales gleaming under the grey/blue sky and crescent moon. | Wycombe Wanderer | 04/12/2016 |
Layby at high point of road. Easy over wall if you use a protruding fence post. | ngthack | 10/10/2016 |
Good parking N of hill. Wall climb. | jimbloomer | 13/08/2015 |
As per DG but didn't find wall so easy at this time of year. | catman | 30/06/2015 |
Parked on 'long' passing place on minor road to north at SD 60204 88775. Climbed over wall and strolled to summit. | David Gradwell | 17/04/2015 |
From N. Seem to be still P30(s) missing around here but too nice a day to spend time studying map. And having subsequently done so there apparently aren't. | RHW | 22/03/2015 |
Hop over wall to rounded grassy dome. Other similar hills in this area. Also visited slightly higher, more distinctive one to SW at SD 59738 88555. | Aye Jimmy | 25/02/2015 |
Climbed this when passing as it looked a probable Tump. Parking up the lane just past the bend to NW on verge, simple stroll across pasture field to top. Confirmed P30 in site visit later in Feb and emailed Mark J. | nordicstar | 01/02/2015 |
