From carpark at Jubilee Tower. A warm day and the bog was pretty dry making this an easy ascent to Grit Fell and both trigs on Ward’s Stones plateau. The actual hight point is a peat hag 60m west of the second trig. There’s a small cairn on top not visible till you jump up there. For those attempting this jaunt when the bog is wet beware its an 8 mile round trip, and with bog hopping and dodging will take a good while to complete. Despite this being a sunny summer day I only met one other walker. Lovely to be alone, but do go properly prepared.Pete West04/06/2021

11.5 mile walk from road west of Tarnbrook, plenty of space to park 0.5 miles before the hamlet, walked into hamlet then took permissive track north up to contouring track followed this then another trail right up to the summit (first time bagged since 2005), afterwards followed surprisingly easy and dry ridge all the way to Wolfhole Crag, turned back then took permissive track back down to Tarnbrook. After this we drove to and bagged Nicky Nook and then Williamson Park. Warm and sunny with clear skies but slightly hazy, had good views of the Dales peaks but not of the Lakes. Saw 5 other people.DanTrig20/05/2020

Up access land on good track as far as 591574, then rough track past a line of shooting butts. I found little trace of any track or path anywhere near the summit.

HP is peat hag 80 p west of eastern trig on this double trig hill. There are also some impressive outcrops of gritstone easy to summit. The sun was setting with an amazing and changing array of oranges and blues, with lights twinkling along the coast of Morecambe Bay, with great views across to the Pennine on ascent. A superb day.. We descended initially over rough frozen moorland then on a good track to Tarnbrook hamlet.Denise 07/01/2018

A great walk from Tarnbrook with all the heather in glorious full bloom. Up Tarnbrook Wyre track, then along the ridge (plateau?) to the trigs; back down on an argocat track from the solar/wind powered whatever it is, to join the Tarnsyke clough track. Discovered that my map is a little out of date (many new tracks) but map was not needed on such a stunningly clear day.Gill26/08/2016

Excellent parking in Tarnbrook village just beyond the first house. Went up Wolfhole Crag first but, there is direct access to Ward Stones along a shooting track from the western end of the village. Track stops after some shooting butts but the final section across the moor is quite easy. Actual summit is difficult to establish, but it is on top of one of the peat hags.moorsman01/10/2013

From Jubilee tower to Grit fell then over Cabin flat, which I would describe as 'soft' rather than boggy (although there WERE some spots..) Visited both trigs and although the one at the western end is supposed to be the lowest (According to the OS map) it certainly doesn't look like it. Retraced my steps to the shooter's track and followed it down over Margery's hill to Rakehouse barn.hillhiker05/05/2013

A wonderful, secluded spot. Difficult to get to. If you ascend over Grit fell then Cabin flat can be very boggy and hard to get over. I would recommend parking in Abbeystead (parking is limited) and heading up over Wolfhole Crag. Wards stone offers a nice pile of rocks and a trig point about half a mile away which marks the summitBuryFCA104/02/2013

A full day walk of over 14 miles from Westfield Tower- Abbeystead- Tarnbrook Fell- Wards Stone and back via Grit Fell. We kept to field paths though pastures rather than roads, an had a path on the moorland section. Good, though hazy views of Craven Peaks- the best views over Morecambe Bay from Grit Fell. Also had a close view of a female Emperor moth. With JEL and the two Steves.pwheeler15/05/1999
