Pasture and rough pasture from the road, more demanding than I'd expected. Lots of anxious birds but keeping their distance | Colin Crawford | 31/07/2023 |
walking back from lighthouse, up from high point on road where the fence is down, faint path to gate and up over rough pasture easily to cairn | grumpy | 26/03/2023 |
From North, hike up sheep fields and careful over top barbie. | vegibagger | 03/09/2022 |
From Noup Head, and lighthouse car park along coastal path and back by road. | Minto | 31/07/2022 |
Coastal walk from the lighthouse with Minto & Bryer. Afterwards we visited Noltland Castle, the trig (34m) at North Laskaill and the trig at Whitelet (30m). | Dangerous Dave | 31/07/2022 |
Ambly loop from beyond the farm, where gravel track was exciting enough. Avoiding fields with lambs. Ontoopen moor. Great B Back Gull and Great Skua bombing ….lovely wild flowers. Many fledged birds. Some avian bird flu evident by carcasses. | VerySlowPlodder | 03/06/2022 |
Detour from cliff path after walk from Backarass to Noup. | the pigguy | 20/03/2020 |
From. Noup Head, along coastal path and then up directly ridge to top. A couple of Bonxies near the top, but they were being kept occupied by a few gulls. Back down by fence to track, avoiding the direct route as field had plenty of cattle. | PeterD | 26/06/2019 |
A good walk. Jon Glew's 4WD was needed to get to the lighthouse car park, not good for a 2WD. Circumnavigating the lighthouse wall is exciting, then a stroll to Noup Head. Good walking along the cliff edge with spectacular views of geos, cliffs and caves, to head up North Hill from the SW along a grassy/rocky ridge. Down to the inland variant of the cliff path and back to the lighthouse. | Gill | 26/02/2019 |
Parked at Noup Head lighthouse. Lovely cliff walk before veering off inland for North Hill. | jonglew | 26/02/2019 |
A Gteater Black Backed Gull plus 3 chicks had got to the top before us. | jenx | 12/06/2016 |
