1 of 2 starting at Ogden reservoir with my 4 lads. Last time we were here was 2 year ago in the height of lockdown. Round from dick hill under m62 and skirted around church hill. Followed track up towards here then across open field to summit. Somewhere near the fence line | The-Z-Man | 25/09/2022 |

30 minute return trip from the large parking area beyond Tunshill Golf Club. Down the M62 steps and across several field to Heights Barn Farm. Summit only just visible from the farm access road so crossed field and through a wooden gate to reach highest point. | moorsman | 07/03/2019 |

Parking: (For Heights Barn Hill and Dick Hill). Lots of snow so parked on Kiln Lane SD 93371 13190, otherwise would have parked as David Gradwell by Golf Clubhouse. Clockwise circular walk, Heights Barn Hill first - Again some very large snowdrifts on parts of the route. | David Evans | 04/03/2018 |

Parked for free on the road at SD 93595 15580 then used gates and over a couple of fences to gain summit of Cleggswood Hill. Then on towards Hollingworth Hill using gates from the bridleway to the south. Then onward to Heights Barn Hill via footpaths then onto Dick Hill via bridge over motorway. A great 4 Tump walk in a very popular area. | Dugswell2 | 04/02/2017 |
3rd hill of 5 today on route from Littleborough to Milnrow (staying at a private house via Airbnb). I climbed Cleggswood hill and Hollingsworth hill, down to lane beside lake, fp to static caravan park, fp onto Deep lane (rutted holly lined path) branching off via fp SE but keeping high to Summit near fenceline. Easy descent back to fp, one field then onto rough track profiling around Castle Hill. | Dazingdale | 03/12/2016 |

from Hollingworth Lake with Hollingworth Hill. attempted to get onto Cleggswood Hill but the mass of new barbed wire fences prevented it. | joseph mitchell | 04/03/2014 |
Done solo on the way to Dick Hill from Hollingworth Lake to home | Aimless Rambler | 08/01/2014 |
This hill has been done a few times over the last forty years of living here but I wouldn't set out with it as my objective. There are much better walks nearby. | Aimless Rambler | 02/11/2013 |
Excellent parking beside narrow tarmac lane to south at SD 94180 13173. Took public footpath to weird stile at SD 94211 13662 then followed ruined wall/fence for short distance to highest point at SD 94168 13647( very close to 239m spot height on 10k geograph map). We were in full view of Heights Barn Farm so didn't linger. | David Gradwell | 30/06/2013 |
