After Cleggswood Hill, SE along RoW & shortly after Brearley Farm headed up steep banking to wall. Unable to find an easy access point from the E. so used RHW's descent route which approaches from SW. Over gate on bridleway at SD 94476 14865 (the owner of the large property opposite is not the landowner) - NE over pasture to a second gate & then about 20m to summit. | gerrybowes | 11/11/2023 |
4 of 5 on 10 mile hike starting at starring way in littleborough. Down from snoddle hill and around chelburn reservoir then along footpaths following Whitaker lane then onto the Rochdale way before reaching a lovely house that followed the wall line up to summit | The-Z-Man | 30/12/2022 |

Domed grassy summit with moor, motorway, lake and urban views. Soon after we had a fantastic view of a Barn Owl. | Denise | 01/02/2021 |
From the E. Sun now set into the horizon of cloud leaving grey evening views. Watching a Barn Owl in the woods above Syke is a bonus to the already good days walk. | RichardM | 01/02/2021 |

From Cleggswood Hill. Surprisingly attractive countryside, especially Clegg's Wood. Worried about shrivelling oaks. Worst hay fever of season so far. Back to start. | Wycombe Wanderer | 30/05/2020 |

Parked for free on the road at SD 93595 15580 then used gates and over a couple of fences to gain summit of Cleggswood Hill. Then on towards Hollingworth Hill using gates from the bridleway to the south. Then onward to Heights Barn Hill via footpaths then onto Dick Hill via bridge over motorway. A great 4 Tump walk in a very popular area. | Dugswell2 | 04/02/2017 |
2nd hill of 5 today on a route from Littleborough station to Milnhay (staying at a private house via Airbnb. I climbed Cleggswood hill and then dropped onto Rochdale way & where it turns East i followed the stream (escorted by Barking dog on my heels from new property). Gingerly over stream where an old fence crosses it and straght up to the sheep-crowned grassy summit. Good views. Descent Sw to then follow track to a gate and back onto the Rochdale way. | Dazingdale | 03/12/2016 |
