From Flatts Lane (2 ascents) | paulcook2809 | 27/12/2023 |
From Nunthorpe railway station, via Upsall Hill, before taking the low paths back to Nunthorpe. Quagmire. | Christo1979 | 10/12/2023 |
Three rep climbs from Flatts Lane (Pig Track reps). | paulcook2809 | 25/11/2023 |
From Flatts Lane. With Mabel. | paulcook2809 | 21/10/2023 |
Parked at Flatt's Lane Country Park. Path up to road edge, across and up past 'cottage'. Pleasant woodland walk on dry rutted tracks, then over more open ground to summit. Misty, so no coastal views. | LizH | 08/09/2023 |
From Flatts Lane. | paulcook2809 | 22/06/2023 |
A good walk along wide path ... perhaps too wide .... from the Country Park Visitor Centre. | summitter | 21/02/2023 |
From Flatts Lane via Dibdale Plantation and Pig Track | paulcook2809 | 02/02/2023 |
09:00, 15 degrees, overcast then sunny, strong south westerlies (gale force later). From Southgate. Noisy start and summit area litter and graffiti ridden but in between, lovely natural woodland mainly of oak and birch. Accidentally came down a different way, going under the main road instead of over it but no big deal. A good morning workout. | Wycombe Wanderer | 17/10/2022 |
x2 Ascent. From Flatts Lane. Second ascent from Wilton / Castle / Golf Club. | paulcook2809 | 01/09/2022 |
From Flatts Lane Countryside Park. | paulcook2809 | 23/04/2022 |

From Flatts Lane country park; ascent along Pig Bank. | paulcook2809 | 10/08/2021 |
From Occupation Road, Eston- we needed our street map to find the start. Then rutted tracks to the top- all dry today. The view was fabulous- very industrial but a grand scale, right over to Hartlepool. We chatted with someone who worked in the steelworks and his explanation of the landscape greatly enlivened our visit to the summit. Looking to the moors, there is a fabulous profile of Roseberry Topping. Strangely, despite having a friend who lives in Redcar, I had never been on this hill. With Pete | pwheeler | 09/06/2021 |
From the housing estate to the north. Great views on a sunny day. | Alan Caine | 06/06/2021 |
Flat summit area has a brick tower, flag, trig and several aerials. HP grass mound at edge. Superb views over Middlesbrough to NW. Via a very muddy path from Flatts Lane Country park free carpark to SW. The restored tower was originally built to warn of invasion during the Napoleonic wars. | Denise | 17/12/2020 |
From the Flatts Lane car park on wet and muddy grooved paths churned up by motor cycles, the lower option more of a quagmire than the ridge top option. Fine views out over the industrial Middlesbrough with North Sea beyond. | RichardM | 17/12/2020 |

Upsall Hill > Eston Nab [Eston Beacon S4275] from GR: NZ 55195 16851 | Hippster | 15/11/2020 |
3.8 mile out-and-back from country park car park to west, trails to road, across road then good clear path up to summit and beacon, great views from top taking in Roseberry Topping and the North Yorks Moors, the whole of Middlesbrough area across to Redcar and Hartlepool and towards North Pennines and Dales, we could see Penhill quite easily. Not many people about on this cold overcast morning. Afterwards we drove round to bag The Howe and Danby Beacon. | DanTrig | 23/10/2020 |
From Southgate road steep direct route up through scruffy woods. | rhalstead | 27/09/2020 |
Flatts Lane Country Park closed for Covid-19 so parked at hospital. Multiplicity of sandstone tracks so just kept heading upwards. Very slippery and loose on descent. | peter4lc | 20/05/2020 |
With Jo, from Flatts Lane Country Park along very muddy track. Higher ground to SE, but probably not natural. Weather; sunny, cold wind, good visibility. | amblerbob | 13/12/2019 |
With Anna, 4.5 mile circular walk from Flatts Lane Country Park to the west. Met a local collecting edible muushrooms - whoppers! | citygent | 03/10/2019 |
Footpath from B1380 overgrown and impassable. Park at top of Southgate, and a gate gives access to the bridge over main road. Short and steep from this direction. | PGCE | 21/07/2019 |
From Flatts lane country park, with Ellie dog. | BLACKHILL | 26/01/2019 |
Quick lunch run from housing estate near Lackenby. Aborted attempt at the marked footpath start massively overgrown, only to find access higher up to the bridge over main road. Steeply up. Great views, 35min up/down. | N.Morters | 24/10/2018 |
from Flatts Lane Country Park CP. with K. | IanHHill | 18/10/2018 |
Car park in Flatts Lane Country Park at 552168 - S. up park path for about 100m & then forked left along path to road - Up road for about 100m to fingerpost & start of narrow path through woods - Path joins wide track which provides a pleasant walk to trig point. Higher ground to East; probably overgrown remains of previous tower which was demolished in 1956. (S) | gerrybowes | 11/09/2018 |
Ran up from Flatts Lane Country Park, after Upsall Hill. | stever | 27/04/2018 |
First class view over to Roseberry Topping. Very enjoyable walk up here. | Alex C | 15/04/2018 |
Last hill of a 2-day trip across to N Yorks. Losing the light, losing the will to live - incessant rain all day without let up and oh what a mud-fest for a path. Parked at the country park. | jonglew | 12/03/2018 |
From Nunthorpe Rail Station via Flatts Lane Country Park. | ger | 23/02/2018 |

Parked on holmefields road in normanby. Onto track just west of there towards the flatts centre then up through woods to get to ridge on top then a fairly long walk on the top. Then circled back to car. 3.9 mile. 1h10min | The-Z-Man | 18/09/2017 |
A repeat, first for Bryher. Same way up from California estate, bridge then steps and steep ground. Better views today. | nordicstar | 11/09/2017 |
Steep but easy path up from the north. Strange looking out over Middlesbrough where I worked back in my days of sales. | jenx | 11/09/2017 |

From Housing estate to NW, footbridge across dual carriageway and then steeply up. Lots of litter near the top, but good views as it was getting dark. Boulder short distance to SW of trig. | PeterD | 06/04/2017 |

from Flatts Lane Country Park with Upsall Hill | joseph mitchell | 14/08/2016 |
From cul-de-sac just in Eston. Ever regretted your NEDD days? Plus duel carriageway, abandoned industries, transmitters and industrial steam. One day after this age, Eston Nab will regain its former glory. | Eddie | 31/03/2016 |
SOC | Jill Wiseman | 20/03/2016 |
Parked in Eston. Had to seek local knowledge to find the footbridge. Then steep full frontal ascent past burnt out car, to interesting scramble through headwall crag. Came down a less steep path to south west, past another burnt out car. Fine imposing hill with extensive industrial views. | ngthack | 24/02/2016 |
Trig is not high point, boulder to SE 14 meters away is higher. Tackled this as others from the Elston housing estate to North. Yes the climb is steep and bike worn but to pleasant evening birdsong. Path is stepped in places but steep and slippery mud in others. Half way up a horizontal 4x4 track goes through, just head on up and the path reforms. Trig, tower and small cairn with sweet momentos. Large flat boulder just beyond. Didn't see a soul, peaceful with a sleepy nightlit Middlesborough below, best time to go up probably... | nordicstar | 30/04/2014 |
Best described as a litter strewn ascent involving dodging speeding cyclists, the end result being views of the Middlesbrough steelworks from 
 a mound of decaying memorials. | moorsman | 05/04/2014 |
Eston to Guisborough: Another study of winter lowland landscape from the wind shelter (chimney). Soft & frequently watery snow on the tracks made for hard going. | Smudge | 27/01/2013 |
After a long walk that included Quarry Hill and Roseberry Topping, this fantastic hill really cheered me up - a great view all the way up the coast to my ancestral homelands... | DanHolme | 31/08/2012 |
On east side too many Private Roads No Access. Went to Eston and parked just before bridge in estate. Than wooden steps for 1st half then path for remainder. | destaylor | 09/04/2012 |
Out and back from Flatts Lane Woodland Country Park. Warm hazy sunshine. | PaulH | 22/03/2012 |
With Dad. A quick ascent from the car park to the west. A brilliant viewpoint. Nice evening sunlight as we arrived at the summit. | AGWilliamson | 19/02/2012 |
Parked in Eston. Short steep ascent through woods is spoilt by litter and graffiti on summit rocks. Fine viewpoint. | Aye Jimmy | 20/08/2011 |
From NZ 563 189. Esoteric with a dramatic vista. | summitsup | 03/08/2011 |
Gentle 2 hour stroll from the Flatts Lane Country Park, easy to follow paths. | Nick | 21/06/2011 |
Parked at Flatts Lane Country Park. Followed signs to top. In parts very muddy. Top is close to trig and building | chrisbien | 04/03/2011 |

Excellent views of a myriad of cooling towers... | maknipe | 21/11/2007 |
Twilight walk to high point | Rhayader_wander | 03/11/2005 |
Walked across fom the triangulation pillar at Nunthorpe Reservoir, high marked with a triangulation pillar (S4275) {Eston Beacon}. | yorkie | 13/03/2005 |
I parked in Eston walked over the footbridge and made the short but energetic climb up to the trig. There are remnants of what I took to be a cable car ride half way up and at the top together with a collection of masts. | Father Ted | 10/06/2004 |
fine summit, impressive Middlesbrough view, by night - my final E+W subMarilyn (OMoMow isn't one). from hsg estate to N, FB across road then FP to summit | RHW | 06/10/2002 |
Good paths and views, dry and clear. | Dugswell2 | 21/09/2002 |
Parked at Flatts Lane Country Park and walked on the Tees Link. This was left early on to keep to the ridge. The summit was found amongst buildings. Great views over the steel & chemical works. | garyhoney | 12/04/2002 |

Solo trip from L's at Leeds.Interesting industrial views over Teesside. On a trip around N Y Moors doing Marilyns, sub-Marilyns, County Tops and even an aborted attempt on a Treble zero down jungle and crumbling shale cliffs to the coast. | Chris Pearson | 20/04/1997 |
