Solo. Footpath along edge of fort. Hopped over low wall in corner then over gate into sheep field. Visited trig too. Back same way. | matty1971b | 14/08/2023 |
Parked in the South Quay car park before a benchmark hunt in town before heading up to Tump & trig. | Dugswell2 | 19/01/2022 |
Like DD. Painless. Good view. | Moorponder | 29/12/2021 |
14.50 up the stepped path from the big school on the main road. Hoped over the wall and gate at the Corner down the field and back onto the other path/Bridleway | vegibagger | 23/05/2021 |
No RoW in surrounding fields. No need to climb the wall in the E corner of the roman fort, there is an access gate in the W corner, beside the museum, but it was padlocked - perhaps only unlocked on Fri, Sat and Sun when the museum is open. Multiple barriers in the E corner of the roman fort area seem to be the closest point of approach without trespassing. | Isbjorn | 16/12/2019 |
Parking down Camp Street alongside a field gate immediately after the west running footpath. Once into the field it is an unhindered walk to the top with no gates or fences to negotiate. | moorsman | 18/10/2019 |
Via walled path. Fine houses. | Wycombe Wanderer | 21/04/2019 |
Walked up the track from the golf course after a round on our annual golf weekend trip. About a third of the way along the track to camp farm, then over a gate through a couple of wheat fields to the Trig then the actual top itself. No sign of the former Roman Road, which would have made it much easier. Back down to the pub to watch England cruise past Sweden in the quarter finals. | summitter | 07/07/2018 |

with Darren, hop over wall to summit field and trig then back past grassy bank of fort -no rocky ruins to be seen. Wiki - The fort at Maryport formed part of the 'Western Sea Defences', a line of forts and watch-towers strung along the north-western coastline of Cumbria; a western extension of Hadrian's Wall. It had never occurred to me before that northern raiders might have got past Hadrian's Wall by simply sailing around the sides. Obvious really I guess ...as the Romans also thought -hence this fort. | Chris Pearson | 01/11/2017 |

Parked on Camp Road to SW at start of public footpath at NY 03965 37181 then as Aye Jimmy. Highest point is ground by hedgerow c90m SW of trig at NY 04127 37362. | David Gradwell | 23/08/2015 |
Parked by school to SE (holidays), f/p opposite to right-angled bend, over wall and gate to R. Fences up around digging earthworks, scrapings, trenches, tubs full of samples for sieving(?). Trig in hedge beyond. Ground to SW may not be natural? | Aye Jimmy | 06/08/2015 |
Up from the prom. Trig point seemed lower than land to south west. | peebs | 23/06/2015 |
Here to bag the trig pillar - Camp Farm. From the Roman Fort museum. | jonglew | 18/03/2015 |
Easy one this, drove to lane end next to fort. FP then over wall into field and two fence lines to trig. | nordicstar | 02/12/2014 |
From corner of footpath to SW. Top might be 90m to SW? | agentmancuso | 29/07/2014 |
