from Coniston Village along lake shore to Anne Riggs and on to Coats Hill.trimarc210/10/2022
Accessed the area from the minor road off the A5084. Approached the summit through gate in the wall.JohnW25/04/2022
an afternoon amble in my wellies from Shepherds View Caravan site at TorverShutterlag07/04/2022
A morning medley of small peaks around Torver in the morning, before the worst of Storm Eunice arrived. Visited: Coats Hill, Anne Riggs, Green How, Banks, and Bracelet Moor. All easily accessible from small parking places on adjacent minor roads. The afternoon spent hunkering down in the caravan on Coniston Park Coppice CAMC site, following a power cut. 10km with 850m ascent in 2.5 hours. (S)silveracorn_alan18/02/2022
I was pleasantly surprised to get access through an unlocked gate, from the high point of the footpath by the wall. Lovely summit rock outcrop in an empty grassy field. Solo.Dangerous Dave21/10/2021
Circular walk from Park Coppice Campsite. Along the lakeshore to Sunny Bank and then FP to meet road at SD 2886 9253. Short section of road and then FP from SD 2893 9245 keeping wall on left. Either across wall or via gate at SD 2825 9185. Inquisitive sheep. Onwards to Anne Riggs.Meanderer20/09/2021
With Sue on round of 7 from parking at the eastern end of the right of way. Anne Rigg, round N of tarn to Green How, Yew Bank, Fisher High, Wool Knott and Beacon Hill, Coats Hill take first gate through field and return to gate, followed track to short road walk to car park.Frank27/05/2021
If driving up on the minor road to the south remember there are no turning places after the U bend. This is important if the ground is slippery as you could get stuck and will have to reverse back. If dry you can turn by pulling onto the grass, but this leaves you facing downwards. You can then park on the roadside grass. Walk back to the gate and turn left to follow the wall. You can climb over the first gate that you come to and make your way easily to the summit.moorsman15/05/2021

Started with Bracelet Moor, then a walk through from south of The Hawk, over Knott and then onto Lag Bank and Banks before crossing the main road and picking up three remaining Torvor Common Tumps. A great amble with Bryher.jenx10/02/2019
Beeline from Anne Riggs and back to start.Wycombe Wanderer10/02/2019
Parked beside Coniston Water at Sunny Bank and up footpath beside wall. Gate at top just after col allows access to summit. Then over Cumbria Way to Fisher High, Green How and Anne Riggs then back over the road by Landrover Garage up onto Torver Back Common. Plus a cheeky pint in the Church Inn at Torver - rude not to!nickywood127/12/2018

I'll get my coat on, in this breeze.Martin R30/12/2016
Did a hill bagging walk from sunny bank lay-bye. ANNE RIGGS - GREEN HOW - YEW BANK - FISHER HIGH - WOOL KNOT - BEACON FELL - COSTS HILL. Sunny spells day and a walk not to be done in poor visibility or wet. LOTS OF HEATHER to walk through.Hill Wanderer25/05/2016
Parked at SD 2882 9274 where Cumbria Way crosses the Torver-Greenodd road. Footbridge to cross beck then leftwards up Torver Common to reach hill from the N. Continued across to Anne Riggs.Aye Jimmy24/04/2015
A slight diversion from the footpath through a 5 bar gate to bag the summit. The bright green of the grassy enclosed field contrasting to the browns of the surrounding bracken moorland where we later got a cheery wave from the farmer on his quad bike feeding sheep.Chris Pearson30/03/2015
Along with Beacon Fell and Fisher High, circuit. AT the gate that says Private on lane, go up wall to LHS, after 100m there's a gate that gives access to hill not seen from farm.nordicstar30/07/2014
Circular walk from grass verge at SD 28279 91486. Coats Hill (didn't summit, not ticked) > Anne Riggs (2nd visit) > Green How > Yew Bank > Fisher High > Wool Knott (2nd visit) > Beacon Fell (2nd visit). Quite a rough outing with plenty of pathless stuff. Close proximity of farmer on quad-bike made us retire gracefully from attempt of Coats Hill. Although we did get very close to the summit - it wasn't close enough!David Gradwell15/04/2014
With Jo, linear walk from Water Yeat: Beacon Fell, Fisher High, Coats Hill, Anne Riggs, Green How, then onto Torver. Weather; generally sunny with high intermittent clouds, cool breeze, with good visibility.amblerbob11/04/2014
