This is a fine hill, especially with the bracken down. Parked by the footpath to the south. Followed the path through the wood, where there is a fine view across to Far Sawrey. By the gate there is a path which leads up the hill and eventually down to Near Sawrey. By a bend in an old wall it is easy to reach the summit, where there is a small cairn. There are notices asking you to keep to the path, tempting though it is to walk though the trees. Passed close to the summit in April 2004 during an orienteering event. | JohnW | 06/03/2023 |
Via the lay-by and ROW to the SSW. Worn path leads close to the summit. | summitter | 18/10/2022 |
Road too narrow to park down although I could prehaps have asked the builders working at Dub How Farm. However, far easier to park at Hill Top (unattended National Trust site car park) and walk back. (I am a member). Easy track from the road to the summit. | moorsman | 19/05/2022 |
From building site at Dub How via good tracks to lovely little top which despite being just being inside the wood, provides good views. Person at site told me on my return that I should have used the FP situated further south along lane. | trimarc2 | 21/03/2022 |

Beaxtrix Potter's Hill Top house and working farm which she bought lie on the shoulder of this hill. Last of 3 Tumps on an early morning winter (pre dawn start) 3 hr run from /to Bowness using the ferry. Traversed from SW fp and open woodland then down NE -gate at wood edge into fields (once owned by Miss Potter?) led quickly to road run back for ferry. Raining properly now.
