Good viewpoint, hazy view of the Isle of Man. | webmaster | 19/04/2023 |
Early morning from the golfcourse CH | robertphillips | 02/01/2023 |
Parked near the GR post box where there is room for around 4 cars and took track to CP to Port of Warren and turned R on path to gate and wall. Follow wall up to gate in wall then bear right where a cow/sheep track takes you straight to top of White Hill. Returned the same way back to car then track to CP to Sandyhills where we branched off to the top. Carried on along ridge back to CP and the view indicator and turned R back to Portling | Wayne Mac | 08/10/2022 |

You have 30 minutes of free parking at the entrance to the caravan park, and can get up and down this using the coastal path and cutting up through fields in that time. Pleasant. | Thearlaichdubh | 19/07/2017 |
