Visited after camping on Shell Top | LovableScum | 15/06/2021 |
Good shelter from wind in 'cairn' at top and impressive stone row. | Dan01 | 06/03/2021 |
From the South West along the dead end road to the waterworks. Headed across open ground to summit barrow. Saw Ravens Buzzard Skylarks and Stonechats. Lots of grazing ponies and sheep. Very quiet good views to south coast. Little microclimate inside the barrow with a small tree. Natural high point was in the vegetation to west. Walked across to it and then headed back down along the stone row. Time taken 1 hour for just over 3 miles. | isabelle | 30/08/2020 |

Parked in large passing place SX 6209 6091. No parking further up lane as farmer has dumped huge boulders - trouble with camping | carole engel | 27/06/2018 |
Parked at carpark to NE of Harford, then walked NW over rough ground with some paths and paddled across slimy stones on river bed knee deep- very hot so pleasant. Huge barrow on top with central part built into square walls- presumably this is Hillson's house, reputedly lived in by Hillson, an orphan who made clocks there. Hard to establish base of barrow but apparent natural HP is 90 p W in ferns. larks sang and insects buzzed under very hot blue skies | Denise | 18/06/2017 |
Very limited parking possible down the dead end road to the south west. Through the gate and along the path to the water works. If no one there, walk through the works on a good track and out the other side. Continue on the path for a short distance (away from the summit!) and look for a vehicular track going uphill. This leads to the summit. | moorsman | 19/06/2016 |
