From Warrendale Knotts. Through gate in high wall at 832638 on to open fell. KeithByTheC01/01/2024
From Warrendale Knotts. Gate at SE of summit allows direct access back to the road. Solo.Dangerous Dave09/08/2023
9.8 mile circular from the parking area on High Hill Lane. Along Stockdale Lane and up easy grass slopes to Back Scar. Gates provide easy access to Grizedales. We then headed north across an easy fence towards the featureless Black Hill, then followed the Pennine Bridleway around to Jubilee and Victoria caves. Both are worth a slight detour. Up to Warrendale Knotts lovely summit then headed south towards High Hill. A gap in the wall provides access from the summit back to High Hill Lane. 588m ascent in improving weather. Nice views of the higher mountains.DanTrig07/07/2023

A round of the hills (including 3 Deweys) between Malham and Settle from the car park to the south of Malham Tarn (SD 894 658),visiting Kirkby Fell, Rye Loaf Hill, Grizedales, Back Scar, High Hill, Warrendale Knotts and Black Hill. First snowy walk of the 2020-21 Winter. Stunning views of Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent all clad in the white stuff! 22.2km with 720m ascent in 6h40m. (S)silveracorn_alan05/12/2020

small grass knoll in limestone; two similar height, differentiated only by Abney. Muggy, hazy, extensive views across wild sheep pasture with limestone outcrops.Denise 26/06/2020
I thought the limestone knoll at SD83336,63648 was just the higher than the 'spot height summit' by abney - both ways, but not a lot in it. For those continuing S there's a convenient new gate just S of the 'spot height summit'.RichardM26/06/2020

1st of 6 tumps from Settle to Malham YHA, climbing up through Upper Settle then using cycle route 68, veering off at SD82567 63424, heading North then NE then SE to reduce the gradient before heading directly to the summit. Fantastic scenery, especially to the North with the Attermire Scars; great to be back in this part of the world since 2008 with my daughter (Settle and Malham). Descent SE to pick up Pennine Bridleway at Stockdale lane then over the knoll of Low Halsteads to reach open access land, heading for Rye Loaf Hill.Dazingdale24/03/2018
