Short walk from the top of Sunniside Road. A 'baggers trample' from the E leads to the approximate summit in the brambles. South Tyneside compleation. | PGCE | 08/10/2023 |
As others Parked near start of bridle way into nature reserve. Through quarry, then cut across to golfcourse. 
Some excellent views down the coast from the old water tower, worth the visit | matty1971b | 06/04/2023 |
Up from sunniside road overgrown area with brambles at the top. | robertphillips | 25/03/2023 |
10:30am, 0 degrees (max 3 later) cloudless. Set Google Maps to Cleadon Tower, which takes you most of the way, and drove up the lane beyond as far as possible. Two minute walk from there, if that. | Wycombe Wanderer | 21/01/2023 |

been up this hill many times before but this was the first time since discovering hill bagging... 
 
parked on The Lonnen and walked up the hill via Sunniside Lane and then the bridle path. 
 
lovely spot | hopsathome | 01/01/2022 |
Re-visit following re-location. | jimbloomer | 05/09/2021 |
A day of visiting beacons and beacon hills (only some of which qualify here as a hill or tump). Not much of a view from the Hillbagging Summit. The actual beacon - with sight lines to the sea and further beacon hills northward is some way to the East. Friendly golfers explained 'highest point in South Shields' and 'You can see both the Newcastle and Sunderland grounds'. Worth a detour after bagging the 'official' summit. | M3WDD | 25/07/2021 |
From Sunniside Road | clivevilla | 04/06/2021 |
NEW SUMMIT ...... It is possible to drive the length of Sunniside Road as far as the tower. Turn right at the top to find good parking. The top is a large flat area with the base of the tower obviously lower. | moorsman | 05/09/2020 |
Across the golf course from the east through the copse avoiding the few golfers on hyper windy day. Over wall style and field of May horses, two very friendly had two long gentle head to head hugs. | vegibagger | 22/05/2020 |
Wide roadside verge for parking at NZ 3994 6440. Took the RoW running WSW until N of the HP, then followed GC internal walling to the HP. Lots of golfers about, but all ignored me. | jonglew | 31/08/2019 |
Another Beacon Hill bagged. Parked at golf club, walked along the wall bounding the course, crossed wall on a ladder-stile then across scrubby pasture to natural high point. Sunny, broken cloud, Sonja walked half-way. | Skip | 07/06/2019 |
Accessed from RoW to N in moonlight. HP appears to be by stone wall at hole 13. | Denise | 16/03/2019 |
From the N in rapidly fading daylight. Golf course deserted. Wall next to 13th Tee. | RichardM | 16/03/2019 |
From Sunniside Road to old summit, bagging what is now the summit on the way there. | mae | 25/07/2018 |
Walk from nature reserve. The along wall to the 13th tee. The only gree parts of the course were the tees and green following a long spell of dry warm weather. | cjo | 08/07/2018 |
Parked in entrance to Lizaerd Lane caravan site. Pleasant walk along bridleway before turning onto golf courses. | Campbell Singer | 22/05/2018 |
Parked by the White Horse in Quarry Road. The path opposite leads through a modern squeeze gate and up a grassy slope to the wall. Turn left, follow this to where a wire fence and hedge continues as the wall turns right. Stay with the wall as it runs up to the summit above the 13th tee. I sat on the bench bequeathed by Nancy Walker to admire the views and celebrate a South Tyneside Tump completion. | Nick Down1 | 30/04/2018 |
From SW, along FP to GC and then along wall to the other GC and up to HP. Clear evening and not a golfer in sight. | PeterD | 08/04/2017 |
I thought the ground close to the brick tower was higher. And so did the dog. | maknipe | 14/12/2016 |
Parked at start of bridleway. Hadn't looked at the map for this one so accidentally walked up the farm road instead - turned back by friendly woman. Unfortunately grass was being cut at the high point on golf course, but found an alternative one which seemed as good. | the_adam | 25/10/2016 |
Parked in Sunniside Lane. Made my way across golf course and up to 13th tee in pouring rain. | Bramley | 25/08/2016 |
Excellent all day breakfast at the 19th hole! | arranc | 11/03/2016 |
Parked near start of bridle way into nature reserve. Through quarry, then cut across to golfcourse. Along wall which actually divides two separate golf courses, according to a golfer I spoke to. Finally reaching 13th tee. Back to edge of gc & Great North Forest Heritage Trail, which can be followed to the road. South Tyneside completion. All of two hills. | ngthack | 26/02/2016 |
Starlit beeline from ENE, 4th tump and 2nd UA completion of the evening. Parked just S of bus shelter with nice cut benchmark on gable of house opposite | RHW | 11/12/2015 |
Parked on Lizard Lane, then used bridleway to access golf course where I visited two likely high points by wall including near the 13th tee. Not many golfers at 15:30 on a damp, grey Sunday in May. | Dugswell2 | 03/05/2015 |
Parked to NE on Lizard Lane on verge at start of bridleway. Easy to walk up field edges through golf course, but on way back walked up wall line NNW and crossed wall back onto bridleway | GordonAdshead | 11/03/2015 |
From end Quarry Road by White Horse pub. Up on BW through woods, angle up through trees to gain wall at GC. When wall dog legs across course follow this easily to summit at 13th tee. | nordicstar | 19/02/2015 |
From the NW, parked outside White Horse pub. Bridleway E for 200m into 'Marsden Old Quarry Nature Reserve' then up onto golf course. Followed wall across golf course to high point next to wall and gorse bush by 13th Hole. | Aye Jimmy | 02/01/2015 |
Not sure of date, but been up there loads of times. Only lived 4 miles away. | Jhimmy | 01/01/2010 |
I cannot remember exactly when my first romp over Cleadon Hills was, or whether I ever got to its precise unquestionable summit, but it has been in my sight and under my feet since birth! A summer day age 15 will do for any boy's logbook ... | bootsbootes | 01/08/1971 |
