Excellent instructions from Wycombe Wanderer.David Evans02/01/2023
Approached along private, muddy track to NW. Near main gate, broken fence slats allow access. Crossed track, CCTV, steeply up wooded brambly bank, across another track and then steeply up slope- grass/ bramble. Exposed on top but quarry below quiet today. Returned same way. Sunny and clear.Denise 26/12/2022
Parked on Carrune Road (not all double yellows). Crossed the B4114 at the pedestrian crossing, walked 50 yards up the hill and took a little path on the right, behind a traffic signal control box. This leads, without obstacles or recycling depots, to the summit. Make sure you go through two big, disused metal gates on your left. Follow the obvious route through the bushes to open grass and keep going uphill, alongside gas pipes to area covered with black sheeting and a path to the summit is just round the corner on your right. Easy!Wycombe Wanderer18/04/2022
As jonglew. There are a couple of places to get through the fence on NW side, if you are slim. The gate E would be climbable from the outside if you have long legs - easier to cross to get out than to get in. Sunday afternoon visit; no activity in quarry. 2 local lads were a bit bemused: they thought I had caught them breaching the fence, only for me to go through the exact same hole!PGCE22/08/2021
From small car park (SP 3399 9357); fence breach at SP 3430 9345, only 1 slat missing so need to be reasonably slim to squeeze through. A steep descent to quarry floor now required, aim for SP 3423 9329 as vegetation more sparse and avoids a 3m drop off near the bottom. Quarry track leads up to base of the pyramid. Steep ascent, but very little bramble. Egress far easier via the gates at SP 3487 9307 which can be negotiated quite easily, then a level walk back to car park. Access via these gates may be a problem as not so easy to negotiate them from outside. This was an early evening assault parking up around 6.20pm.jonglew18/08/2020
Affectionately known locally as the Nuneaton Nipple and unbelievably in 2018 won best UK landmark in a poll by the Daily Mirror , beating the likes of Big Ben and Stonehenge! Despite such fame I had the devil of a job reaching the top, not helped by being a working weekday with Tonka Toy sized trucks and diggers active way down in the huge, deep quarry bottom. Approach per Carol but to avoid the activity below tried to skirt high both left and right around top edge of quarry once inside fence - but both led to dense thickets and gorse. Later found a squeeze route under gate from NE -but meant lying down flat in orange gooey mud. Resigned myself to a messy fate before finding a handy bit of matting to minimise the mess. A summit earned. In 2007 pranksters put half a mini on top to amuse passing commuters, but not the quarry officials.Chris Pearson28/03/2019
Recycling centre to SE active so approached from NW from small walkers CP at SP 3401 9358. Followed path to large hole in fence at SP 34220 93486. Head half right to descend steeply into quarry to pick up visible track leading towards the summit. Very steep final climb but easier than Hartshill Pyramid. Attempted return by obviously easier upper track (mapped) but unable to access it as it is securely gated, the base of which is now blocked with massive boulders, at SP 3491 9301. So had to return via the depths of the quarry.carole engel17/03/2019
Track from NW on a foggy Sunday morning. Heard lorries but could see very little, glad of GPS.Dugswell224/02/2019
1st of 4 tumps on an 18.3 mile route from Nuneaton to Tamworth station. Passed by the Daffodil fountain at the A444 roundabout then followed the B4114 till I got to the Coventry canal then followed this until I got to a bridge over the canal. Traversed bridge on side using good foot and handholds (lorry passed over in the process and Jack Russell looked up at me curiously) then used scrub undergrowth before meandering through pools of water to arrive at a wide track with spiky metallic fence. Climbed where gate barrs access on track then up and down some levels to reach old skips and track leading up and around to Western edge from where I ascended to the summit. Descent similar but climbed over a bit further down where an old gate is more easily climbed over. I then used the track and followed it NW until linking with a footpath that led back to the Coventry canal (93m spot height). Followed Coventry Canal until veering off for Hartshill Pyramid...Dazingdale24/02/2019
Like others, parked near entrance to recycling facility. Went through a hole in the fence and then got up onto a capped landfill at the rear of some skips. Nice path leads up the west ridge of the cone to another super view point. Unfortunately I was spotted and was met on the way down by an angry site manager who told me to get off his site and not come back. The area around the hill is still being land filled but I do not know if this will raise the level of the col and reduce the prominence to less than 30m. It will be sad if this hill is deleted as it is a good one, notwithstanding the access issues. The area is very active and so an out of hours visit might be best.Herbert Anchovy14/01/2019
A prominent conical spoil heap which has great potential as a local amenity. From the N side, a group of local lads suggested under the gate was the usual approach but climbing over appeared a much cleaner option. Good views from the top, air exceptionally clear under cloudless blue skies.RichardM12/11/2017
From recycling centre, road ahead then around left hand side of hill to meadow with black gas pipes. Continued to NW corner of hill, path leads steeply to top and fine summit viewpoint.Aye Jimmy16/08/2017
Parked near recycling centre, walked past it, and along track to large locked double gates with space to get underneath. steep climb to top. Looks like others been same way.PeterD02/06/2017
Parked in waste disposal yard, but prevented from going further by man in hard hat mentioning the police and private ground, etc.arranc19/04/2017
Parked in parking by the entrance to the waste disposal site then walked along the approach, kept right along a track which led left through an open gate. Climbed up the east side which was steep so descended the west which was less steep.clivevilla04/04/2017
From the recycling centre to the SE, follow track around with ditch on the right to wide open gates. Follow obvious track around south side before ascending up path from the west. Early morning Sunday with no access problems.Campbell Singer02/04/2017
Parked by recycling centre. When at base of hill ascend from the West side. No brambles. Warwickshire re-completed.andrew brown17/03/2017
Parked just off B road at 338935. Took RoW running NE for 300m. Then along fly tipped track alongside security fence, to big double gate which was open. Then straight up side of cone to small summit. As bad as Hartshill Pyramid. Had to descend summit cone on all fours again. Must have missed the good path up the west ridge. Warks recompleted.ngthack10/03/2017
Accessed from gate on NE.Adrian05/03/2017
From WSW, gate; via reclaimed area with nice grassland but methane pipes still in place; formerly Judkins Granite Quarry. Stony summit a little bare with apparent regular access via W ridge which has a good path. In darkness having been delayed by Hartshill Pyramid.RHW19/02/2017
From NW, along track and through gap in fenceTony J14/01/2017
