Parked on Syda Road, walked the permissive path to hob hursts house then across the rough ground to the high point. I see now why so many people complain, the views are easily forgettable, but its good to be out! | Nicky C | 06/02/2024 |
From SSE, not the most exciting route | RobertP | 04/02/2024 |
Heather bash to trig from road to E, but OK from there to summit using faint paths and cleared lines. 
A fittingly uninspiring way to complete the Ethels. | mae | 01/11/2023 |

From the road to SE, up to Trig and then an ankle grazing slog through heather.Lots of faint tracks that go vaguely in the right direction, but they disappear as soon as they appear. Not the most inspiring summit. | Lazylizzie | 01/05/2023 |
From the road to SE, up to Trig and then path through heather. Much easier going than I expected and lots of faint tracks through heather that went in the right direction. | PeterD | 02/12/2022 |
From Hob Hursts House. Not as bad as I expected. I went a bit to the right of the direct line. I found bits of short heather and small paths in the bilberry bushes and bracken, also some bilberries despite the lateness of season. Coming back I followed the line of butts but that was worse. | Alan Moore | 13/10/2022 |
As others it wasnt very enjoyable with the heather as high as it was. Managed to find paths in some parts I suppose with us having the recent drought there was no real boggy parts so Ill take that as the win for this one | The-Z-Man | 02/09/2022 |
Hideous Hill! | jthomson6nr9 | 08/07/2022 |
A diversion across the moor to the high point while bouldering at Harland Edge | steveb2006 | 07/06/2022 |
Never again | Longwojo | 13/03/2022 |
Just a sea of knee high heather up there, paths are overgrown and indistinguishable at the highest point of peak. | lifeathighaltitude | 28/02/2022 |
With Susan and Nell from spot height 293 to gate 283683 then follow marked path to Hob Hurst's House. Cross the fence easily on the east side of the 'House' then try and find slight paths loosely joined with cut heather patches generally about 100 meters from Harland Edge. If you cant find a path, then Oboy you have your work cut out ploughing through the knee deep heather. Top by a shooting butt. My 19th Ethel starting from scratch. | Glenelg | 20/01/2022 |
Harland South 2998 > Beeley Moor from GR: SK 30376 68164. Easier access to Open Access Land at SK 30066 68028 and parking for such at SK 30109 68024 via field entrance. | ronaldo333 | 02/01/2022 |

Plenty of parking on the nearby roads. Warm and relatively sunny october day so there was plenty of views down hope valley. | FelixClayhill | 26/10/2021 |
Do not attempt in shorts as heather is very long | geoffreycurnock | 23/06/2021 |

Parked in layby near crest of road. Thanks to Wycombe Wanderer: went to trig, then faint path through heather to trimmed strips as far as SK 29366 68694. Summit not far from here. Easier than expected; 50 minutes return. | PGCE | 17/04/2021 |
Beeley Moor & Hob Hursts House. | NStanton | 10/04/2021 |
From SE. Heather not as bad as feared, there's a vague path from the trig point and cut patches. | Wycombe Wanderer | 03/04/2021 |
11.5 mile circular from Baslow, headed south through the Chatsworth Estate to Beeley then followed track through Hell Bank plantation onto the moor, followed good signed path not marked on map to Hob Hurst's house, from there pathless heather up to featureless summit, luckily some of the heather was burnt making for easy walking, the last quarter of a mile though was hard heather bashing with rocks and bog hidden, for that reason we decided not to visit trig today and followed good moorland lanes to just above the A619, then another unmarked on map signed trail that takes you back along Heathy Lea Brook through Chatworth Estate to Baslow. Hot and sunny but with a nice breeze today, busy in the Chatsworth estate but only a few people about elsewhere. Aftewards drove to and bagged Oker Hill. | DanTrig | 22/06/2020 |
Good advice from Moorsman. I must have been lucky with the weather, the path kept me bone dry and the heather didn't seem too daunting. | David Evans | 30/08/2019 |
Mon night from Beeley with Rue and Paul. Clear. | davechaffey | 08/04/2019 |
Summit is in thick heather near a stone shooting butt. Unpleasant approach through bog and thick heather. The trig, c 500m SE, looks higher but isn't! A rather breezy overcast day with brief sun and showers. Views of Kinder with snow. | Denise | 07/02/2019 |
From the W along line of shooting butts and through the Harland Sick mire to drier ground. Escape SE along the heathery ridge to visit the Harland South trig pillar. | RichardM | 07/02/2019 |
A frustrating 900 metres NW of the trig pillar. 
Drove down to my mums in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire today via a break in Derbyshire to pick off four more of the counties TuMP hill summits. Last one, this one, was a bit of a bugger... Trig pillar a relatively short tramp up through deep heather from the road to the east, only to find that the ground 500metres to the west looked higher. I'd not checked. Checking the map brought the bad news, the hill summit was 4m higher and nearly a kilometre away, a trudge through hard work, knee deep, damp heather. Started to get wet trouser legs, so rolled then up which just got me scratched shins from the heathery twig stems, so rolled then down again a wet trousers seemed the lesser of the two evils. 
This hill pushed me one over last year's then Record annual total. Hurrah. Hopefully few more in final week. | vegibagger | 24/12/2018 |
Fun navigating there in the fog. | simonshrewsbury | 11/11/2018 |
Cool and sunny walk over deep heather bagging Harland South trig first after parking to the SE and climbing the wall. Bagged two shooting butts and a cairn along the way. | Dugswell2 | 07/01/2018 |
A hill that no one will ever do twice (once is more than enough). Plentiful parking to the SW at the bend in the road (alt 300m). Then follow the lane until you come to a gate. 
 
HARD WAY..... go through the first gate and follow a developing path until it stops at a bog. This stretches as far as the eye can see. Try and cross it at your peril. If you do manage it, as well as being wet and smelly, you are faced with pathless bracken and ever deepening heather. A real slog. Makes you wish you had taken up gardening instead of walking. 
 
EASIER WAY.... Don't go through the gate but use a weakness in the wall 10m further along.This is at the other side of the bog so you don't need to cross it. A good path leads 60% of the way up .... then you have the trackless bracken and heather. Good luck. 2.42 hard kilometres, 70 minutes return, 100m ascent. | moorsman | 28/11/2017 |
FRom the bend in the road with easy parking, along lane and through gate. Stayed to the right of the frozen bog but eventually fell in. Very smelly and cold as it went over my gaters. Should have waited for daylight! Deep heather near top. Recommend staying north of the bog although watch out for drainage ditch. | Campbell Singer | 05/01/2017 |
From easy parking to south west but hard going - knee deep heather on top with no path and bit of bog too. | Mark Sims | 27/02/2016 |
With Bev. From Hobs House on an 11 mile round. Dreadful heather fight. | simon and co | 30/08/2015 |
Circular from Rowsley, using fp on bend of A6 over minor road into woodland taking fp to Fallinge farm (where i lost the path) onto open access land following fenceline across to meet with fp that then meets with a minor road with steep drops in the conifer woodland. At the top where the road bends sharply i took a path to the left to meet the locked gate memtioned in other posts. A nartow track heads directly to the summit but is lost shortly. Climbed up around Harland Sick and over a minor edge of gritstone blocks and from there on a bearing through thick glorious purple heather interspersed with boulders until the summit;a semi circular block of stones. I continued south east to the trig at 367m above sea level down to a road and then back across the same road until dropping back onto the moor heading straight for Raven tor and then followed Fallinge Edge until dropping onto a minor road back to Rowsley, passing througb East Lodges lovely gardens en-route. | Dazingdale | 23/08/2015 |
After reading other logs I was not looking forward to this one, but all the vegetation was only shin high. After climbing the locked gate onto open access land follow the wall to the left for about 10 metres and you pick up a sheep track that misses out the boggy marsh section. | Craig67 | 18/06/2015 |
Done same day as Lees Moor. OK to end of butts then head high bracken, knee high heather & concealed boulders. Not far from car, but tough going. Got wrong line coming back & fell in a bog. | ngthack | 05/10/2014 |
Was beginning to think all Tumps in the White Peak were pastures or brambly wooded tops, when this one came along! Popular parking spot for woodland rambles to SW at bend in road. Track for 100m behind wood, over gate onto moor. Heather, marshy section, bracken above head gains rocks near skyline. Then about 100m of deep heather to summit near derelict grousers' butt. Couple of similar features further S slightly lower and rough heathery going. | Aye Jimmy | 30/09/2014 |
Very rough hill:greatly eased by faint track along the line of some butts starting from 286 682 | GordonAdshead | 26/02/2014 |
A miserable day for pushing through seven-foot high bracken for an ill-defined summit, but if you like alternately wading and then snapping your ankle on concealed boulders, then this is the hill for you. | DanHolme | 13/10/2013 |
Hard going over heather. | Wheelsy | 04/07/2012 |
Date approx - with K. | Ashley | 01/01/2010 |
Walk from Chatsworth via Hob Hurst's House | citygent | 29/06/2006 |
A long walk from Owler Bar, down Bar Brook and over Birchen Edge, with a return along Gardom's Edge and White Edge. Isolated, aloof and prominent yet I've never really got to know this one, despite it being so near my hometown. | Jake994 | 17/04/2005 |
Clem bagging walk with Lesley, Pete Lumb, Paul Norman and then down to Chatsworth & tea shop. 3 days before our big NZ adventure (& Antarctica) | Chris Pearson | 21/12/2003 |
Fairly tough approach. park on verge rd jct 290678, bearing to summit | RHW | 08/12/2001 |
Rough stuff!!! | Gill | 01/01/2000 |
Followed moorsman's advice which was excellent. Mostly on sheep paths and with bracken died down in December, it was much easier than expected and I was up and down in 45 mins. I did manage to tread ankle deep in water briefly on both the way out and back, so use wellies or a take a change of footwear for rest of day. | carole engel | blank |
With E. Walk from Chatsworth. Across moors to Hob Hurst's House then onto summit. Return same way. | Beeliner | blank |
